List available data connections
AI agents call get_connections 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 queries and returns a list of existing data connections without altering state, executing code, or triggering external operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk—the worst-case scenario is information disclosure about available data sources, which has low impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_connections' and description 'List available data connections' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List available data connections. 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 get_connections: 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.
get_connections 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_connections 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_connections. 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.
get_connections 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.
