Get the list of auto-converted parquet files for a dataset. Can specify subset (config) and split to get specific files.
AI agents call hf_get_dataset_parquet to retrieve information from Hugging Face Hub MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool exclusively queries and retrieves metadata about existing parquet file conversions in the Hugging Face Hub. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The ability to specify subset and split parameters are read filters, not write operations. Confidence is high because the description is clear and unambiguous about the read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and lists parquet files for a dataset with optional filtering by subset/config and split. Keywords: 'Get the list' and 'auto-converted parquet files' indicate data retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the list of auto-converted parquet files for a dataset. Can specify subset (config) and split to get specific files. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hugging Face Hub MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hugging Face Hub MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hf_get_dataset_parquet: 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 Hugging Face Hub MCP Server. Nothing to install.
hf_get_dataset_parquet 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 hf_get_dataset_parquet 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 hf_get_dataset_parquet. 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.
hf_get_dataset_parquet is provided by the Hugging Face Hub MCP Server MCP server (michaelwaves/hf-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
