Get latest dataset metrics
AI agents call check_dataset_metrics to retrieve information from Dataiku DSS 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 and reads dataset metrics without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk—at worst, an AI agent could access metrics it shouldn't, but cannot cause data loss or financial impact. Severity is low due to limited blast radius of misuse.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_dataset_metrics' and description 'Get latest dataset metrics' indicate retrieval of metric information without modification. The verb 'get' and 'check' are passive operations that query existing data.

Get latest dataset metrics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dataiku DSS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Dataiku DSS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check_dataset_metrics: 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 Dataiku DSS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
check_dataset_metrics 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 check_dataset_metrics 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 check_dataset_metrics. 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.
check_dataset_metrics is provided by the Dataiku DSS MCP Server MCP server (steven0lisa/mcp-dataiku). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
