Get information about the loaded PBIP project including paths to TMDL files and report.json
AI agents call pbip_get_project_info 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.
This tool retrieves project metadata (file paths and configuration information) without side effects. It is a read-only operation that gathers information about an existing Power BI project structure. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius is minimal as it only returns static configuration data that is already present in the system.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] information about the loaded PBIP project including paths to TMDL files and report.json' — purely retrieval of metadata about project structure and file locations with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get information about the loaded PBIP project including paths to TMDL files and report.json. 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 pbip_get_project_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 Power BI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
pbip_get_project_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 pbip_get_project_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 pbip_get_project_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.
pbip_get_project_info 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.
