workbook_csv_parse
Parses CSV text with the SAME strict RFC 4180 parser as the tools/554 browser workbook -- quoted fields, embedded quotes/commas/newlines, CRLF -- and REJECTS malformed input rather than repairing it (deterministic beats forgiving for hash-stable digests). Numeric-looking and TRUE/FALSE cells are ...

What workbook_csv_parse does on Ainumbers Mcp Apps
AI agents call workbook_csv_parse to retrieve information from Ainumbers Mcp Apps without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
csv | string | Yes | CSV text to parse. |
provenance | object | — | Optional provenance metadata, only used when as_artifact is true. Never affects execution_hash. |
as_artifact | boolean | — | When true, returns a full OpenChainGraph v0.4 artifact (policy_parameters/output_payload/execution_hash/provenance) via the same exportArtifact() path as the to |

Why workbook_csv_parse is rated Low
This tool parses and transforms input data (CSV text) into a structured representation. It performs no writes, deletions, financial operations, or external side effects — it is a pure data-parsing/transformation function. The server description explicitly states 'Read-only'. Severity is low as misuse is limited to returning parsed data.

The rule that runs workbook_csv_parse safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ainumbers Mcp Apps, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For workbook_csv_parse, this is the rule to start with:
workbook_csv_parse is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ainumbers Mcp Apps, apply this rule, and every workbook_csv_parse call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about workbook_csv_parse
Parses CSV text with the SAME strict RFC 4180 parser as the tools/554 browser workbook -- quoted fields, embedded quotes/commas/newlines, CRLF -- and REJECTS malformed input rather than repairing it (deterministic beats forgiving for hash-stable digests). Numeric-looking and TRUE/FALSE cells are type-coerced; everything else stays a string. Returns the resulting A1-style cells (raw + evaluated value) plus the sheet's row/column extent, ready for workbook_evaluate or workbook_range_digest -- unless as_artifact is true, in which case it returns a full OCG v0.4 artifact instead (see as_artifact). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ainumbers Mcp Apps MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
workbook_csv_parse accepts 3 parameters: csv, provenance, as_artifact. Required: csv. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
