get_view_columns
AI agents call get_view_columns 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 schema metadata (column information) from a view in a Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse. It performs a query operation with no side effects—it reads and returns data without modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary logic. The naming pattern aligns with other Read-category sibling tools. Confidence is slightly reduced due to empty description, but the name is sufficiently clear.
