Run redacted diagnostics for this Power BI MCP extension, including auth, context, local wrapper tools, and upstream Fabric MCP tool discovery.
AI agents call powerbi_diagnostics to retrieve information from Power BI MCP for Claude without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Diagnostics tools gather and report system status information without modifying data or executing operations with side effects. The description indicates it checks auth status, context, local tools, and discovers upstream tools — all read/introspection operations. 'Redacted' suggests sensitive values are masked in output. No evidence of write, execute, or destructive capability.
