Read template report structure to identify required fields.
AI agents call get_template_schema to retrieve information from powerBI-mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation querying the schema/structure of a Power BI template. It has no side effects and does not modify data, execute commands, or delete anything. The narrow, informational purpose and lack of destructive potential justify a 'low' severity rating.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and reads the template report structure to identify required fields. The description explicitly indicates a data retrieval operation ('Read template report structure') with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read template report structure to identify required fields. It is categorised as a Read tool in the powerBI-mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the powerBI- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_template_schema: 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 powerBI-mcp. Nothing to install.
get_template_schema 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_template_schema 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_template_schema. 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_template_schema is provided by the powerBI- MCP server (ramandimbinirina/powerbi-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
