Get metadata about the Power BI configuration used during model creation.
AI agents call get_metadata to retrieve information from PBIXRay MCP Server 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 Power BI model configuration—purely informational queries with no side effects, data modification, code execution, or destructive operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal; an attacker could only discover model structure and configuration details, not access sensitive data contents, execute code, or modify systems. This is a standard Read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_metadata' and description 'Get metadata about the Power BI configuration used during model creation' indicate retrieval of configuration information without modification or execution. Returns structural/configuration data only.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get metadata about the Power BI configuration used during model creation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the PBIXRay MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the PBIXRay MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_metadata: 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 PBIXRay MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_metadata 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 get_metadata 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 get_metadata. 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.
get_metadata is provided by the PBIXRay MCP Server MCP server (ngoc0610/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
