Get all Power BI datasets in the workspace
AI agents call get_powerbi_datasets to retrieve information from Microsoft Fabric MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or lists Power BI datasets without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It has no side effects and poses minimal risk as it only exposes metadata about available datasets. The blast radius of misuse is limited to potential information disclosure about dataset names and structure.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_powerbi_datasets' and description 'Get all Power BI datasets in the workspace' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or execution. The verb 'get' and the read-only nature of listing datasets confirm this is a query operation.

Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Microsoft Fabric MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_powerbi_datasets 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_powerbi_datasets 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_powerbi_datasets. 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.
