Create a new workspace

How to control fabric_create_workspace ↓

AI agents use fabric_create_workspace to create or update resources in Fabric-Analytics-MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Fabric-Analytics-MCP environment.

Medium Risk

Creating a workspace is a reversible Write operation—it adds a new organizational container to the Fabric environment. While it modifies the system state and may have some management implications, the action can be undone by deleting the workspace.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'fabric_create_workspace' and description 'Create a new workspace' clearly indicate creation of a new resource in Microsoft Fabric.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access fabric_create_workspace gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Fabric-Analytics-MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for fabric_create_workspace:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fabric_create_workspace": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "fabric_create_workspace_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

fabric_create_workspace stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Fabric-Analytics-MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
