What list-databases does on Superset MCP Server

AI agents call list-databases to retrieve information from Superset MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list-databases needs a policy

This tool retrieves/queries information about available databases. It has no side effects, does not execute code, modify data, or delete resources. It is a simple enumeration operation that returns metadata only. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused—an attacker would only gain knowledge of available databases, which is reconnaissance-level information gathering.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list-databases' and description '获取所有可用的数据库列表' (Chinese: 'Get all available database lists') indicates retrieval of database metadata without modification or execution.
