Why superset_dashboard_create needs a policy

Dashboard creation is a write operation that creates a new data resource. It is reversible (dashboards can be deleted) and does not directly delete or modify existing critical data. However, it could allow an AI agent to pollute the analytics environment with unwanted dashboards or create dashboards containing sensitive queries/visualizations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'superset_dashboard_create' indicates creation of a new dashboard resource in Superset. The server is a Superset analytics/BI platform.

How to control superset_dashboard_create

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "superset_dashboard_create": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "superset_dashboard_create_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

superset_dashboard_create stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
