Return all snapshots belonging to a warehouse.
AI agents call list_snapshots 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 queries and returns snapshot metadata for a warehouse. It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or scripts, and does not delete or create resources. It is a simple read/list operation similar to other Read-category tools like 'get_audit_settings' on the same server.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_snapshots' and description states 'Return all snapshots belonging to a warehouse' — a straightforward data retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.

Register the Fabric Dw Mcp Cli MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_snapshots: 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.
list_snapshots 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 list_snapshots 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 list_snapshots. 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.
list_snapshots 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.
