List workbooks, optionally filtered by project name.
AI agents call list_workbooks to retrieve information from Tableau MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and lists workbooks without side effects. It is a straightforward query operation that returns information about existing workbooks, optionally filtered by project. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. This is a low-severity information retrieval action.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_workbooks' and description 'List workbooks, optionally filtered by project name' indicate a read-only query operation with no modification or deletion of data.

Register the Tableau MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_workbooks: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Tableau MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_workbooks is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_workbooks rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_workbooks. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_workbooks is provided by the Tableau MCP Server MCP server (lokimcpuniverse/tableau-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
