Clear data from a dataset
AI agents call clear_dataset to permanently remove resources in Dataiku DSS MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Clearing a dataset removes data irreversibly and cannot be undone without restoration from backups. While not a complete deletion of the dataset object itself, it destroys the data payload, which is the primary asset. This falls under Destructive category as it represents an irreversible data loss operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'clear_dataset' combined with description 'Clear data from a dataset' indicates irreversible removal of data from a dataset. The verb 'clear' in the context of data operations means to remove or delete all contents.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Clear data from a dataset. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Dataiku DSS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Dataiku DSS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for clear_dataset: 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.
clear_dataset is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the clear_dataset 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 clear_dataset. 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.
clear_dataset 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.
