get_table_contents
AI agents call get_table_contents 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.
The tool retrieves Power BI table data contents without any indication of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities. While the blast radius is moderate (potential exposure of sensitive business data within Power BI files), the core action is read-only data retrieval.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_table_contents' and sibling tools (get_dax_columns, get_dax_tables, get_dax_measures, get_metadata) indicate retrieval/query operations without modification. No description provided, but naming convention aligns with read-only data access.
