Get detailed information about a dataset
AI agents call get_dataset_info 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 metadata and information about datasets without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It has minimal blast radius—the worst outcome of misuse would be unauthorized information disclosure, which is significantly less severe than write, execute, or destructive operations. The read category is the appropriate classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_dataset_info' and description 'Get detailed information about a dataset' indicate a retrieval operation with no modifications.

Register the Dataiku DSS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_dataset_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 Dataiku DSS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_dataset_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 get_dataset_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 get_dataset_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.
get_dataset_info 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.
