在 Stata GUI 中显示当前数据集的基本信息
AI agents call stata_get_data_info to retrieve information from Stata without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays metadata about the currently loaded dataset in Stata (such as dimensions, variable names, etc.) with no side effects. It is a read-only query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any commands that would alter data or state.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'stata_get_data_info' and description translates to 'Display basic information of the current dataset in the Stata GUI'. The verb 'get' and 'display' indicate data retrieval without modification.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Stata, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for stata_get_data_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"stata_get_data_info": {}
}
}stata_get_data_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

在 Stata GUI 中显示当前数据集的基本信息. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Stata MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Stata MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stata_get_data_info: 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 Stata. Nothing to install.
stata_get_data_info 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 stata_get_data_info 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 stata_get_data_info. 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.
stata_get_data_info is provided by the Stata MCP server (shichengg/stata-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Stata, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
