Get objects related to a database connection (datasets, charts).
AI agents call superset_database_related_objects 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 retrieves metadata about objects associated with a database connection. It performs a query or lookup operation to list related datasets and charts, which are informational reads. There is no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of code involved. The minimal blast radius from misuse would be exposure of organizational metadata about which datasets and charts exist, hence low severity.
From the tool's definition The tool is described as 'Get objects related to a database connection (datasets, charts)'. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of retrieving related objects (listing datasets and charts) indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access superset_database_related_objects 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_database_related_objects:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"superset_database_related_objects": {}
}
}superset_database_related_objects 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 objects related to a database connection (datasets, 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_database_related_objects: 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_database_related_objects 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_database_related_objects 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_database_related_objects. 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_database_related_objects 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.
Free to start. No card required.
