What logout does on PowerBI Analyst MCP

AI agents call logout to permanently remove resources in PowerBI Analyst MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

Why logout needs a policy

Clearing cached credentials is an irreversible action in context — it invalidates the current authenticated session and destroys stored credential data. The user would need to re-authenticate to regain access. This is not a simple read or write; it permanently removes authentication state, which is closer to Destructive than Write.

How to control logout

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and PowerBI Analyst MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for logout:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "logout"
  ]
}

logout disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register PowerBI Analyst MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
