Get the list of all datasets used by a dashboard's charts.
AI agents call superset_dashboard_datasets to retrieve information from MCP Superset without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about which datasets are referenced by dashboard charts. It is a read-only operation that retrieves information without side effects, matching the 'Read' category definition (retrieves or queries data; no side effects). The low severity reflects minimal blast radius — knowing which datasets a dashboard uses poses no immediate security or operational risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' semantic (superset_dashboard_datasets) and description explicitly states 'Get the list of all datasets' — a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access superset_dashboard_datasets gives an agent:
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_datasets:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"superset_dashboard_datasets": {}
}
}superset_dashboard_datasets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
Free to start. No card required.
Get the list of all datasets used by a dashboard's charts. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Superset MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Superset MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for superset_dashboard_datasets: 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 MCP Superset. Nothing to install.
superset_dashboard_datasets 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 superset_dashboard_datasets 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 superset_dashboard_datasets. 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.
superset_dashboard_datasets is provided by the MCP Superset MCP server (mcp-superset). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from MCP Superset, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
