Refresh health across many datasets: for each refreshable dataset in the given workspaces, check the most recent refresh and classify failures (root cause). Centralized
AI agents call fleet_refresh_monitor to retrieve information from Power BI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and analyzes refresh status information across datasets but does not execute refreshes, modify configurations, delete data, or trigger side effects. It is purely informational monitoring of existing refresh history and failure classification. This is a classic Read operation with negligible blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'check[s] the most recent refresh and classify[es] failures' — these are read operations that query refresh status and metadata.

Refresh health across many datasets: for each refreshable dataset in the given workspaces, check the most recent refresh and classify failures (root cause). Centralized. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Power BI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Power BI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fleet_refresh_monitor: 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 Power BI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
fleet_refresh_monitor 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 fleet_refresh_monitor 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 fleet_refresh_monitor. 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.
fleet_refresh_monitor is provided by the Power BI MCP Server MCP server (sulaiman013/powerbi-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
