Get a comprehensive summary of the current Power BI model.
AI agents call get_model_summary 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 model information (summary data) from an already-connected Power BI file. It performs no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. The 'get' prefix and 'summary' operation confirm this is a read-only query operation. Severity is low because summary metadata exposure has limited impact compared to actual data extraction or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_model_summary' and description 'Get a comprehensive summary of the current Power BI model' indicate a retrieval operation that queries and returns metadata about a Power BI model without modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a comprehensive summary of the current Power BI model. 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_model_summary: 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_model_summary 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_model_summary 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_model_summary. 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_model_summary 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.
get_model_summary is one line of PBIXRay MCP Server's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
