Get dataset schema information
AI agents call inspect_dataset_schema 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 schema metadata from a dataset, which is a read-only query operation. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an agent could learn about dataset structure, which is low-risk information disclosure in most data governance contexts.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'inspect_dataset_schema' and description 'Get dataset schema information' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get dataset schema information. 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 inspect_dataset_schema: 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.
inspect_dataset_schema 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 inspect_dataset_schema 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 inspect_dataset_schema. 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.
inspect_dataset_schema 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.
