[PREVIEW] Validate that every field referenced by the report
AI agents call pbir_validate_report 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 performs a read-only validation check on report metadata—examining which fields are referenced. It does not create, modify, delete, execute code, move money, or trigger external operations. The operation is purely informational (validate = inspect/verify), making it a Read category tool with low severity since misuse would only expose metadata without enabling harmful actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'pbir_validate_report' and description 'Validate that every field referenced by the report' indicate a validation/inspection operation that checks field references without modifying data.

Register the Power BI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pbir_validate_report: 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.
pbir_validate_report 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 pbir_validate_report 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 pbir_validate_report. 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.
pbir_validate_report 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.
