Fetch the full definition of a view (schema.view).
AI agents call get_view to retrieve information from Fabric Dw Mcp Cli without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about a database view (its schema and definition) without modifying, executing code, or causing destructive actions. It is a straightforward read operation similar to other Read tools on the server like 'count_table_rows' and 'get_audit_settings'.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_view' and description states 'Fetch the full definition of a view'. The verb 'Fetch' indicates data retrieval with no modifications or side effects.

Fetch the full definition of a view (schema.view). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Fabric Dw Mcp Cli MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Fabric Dw Mcp Cli MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_view: 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 Fabric Dw Mcp Cli. Nothing to install.
get_view 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_view 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_view. 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_view is provided by the Fabric Dw Mcp Cli MCP server (sdebruyn/fabric-dw-mcp-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
