Queries the Admin Insights
AI agents call query-admin-insights-ts-events to retrieve information from Tableau 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 admin insights and timestamp events from Tableau for analysis purposes. While it is a Read operation (no data modification), the severity is medium because admin insights may contain sensitive metadata about system usage, user activity, and content access patterns that could inform malicious behavior if exposed to an untrusted agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'query' and description states 'Queries the Admin Insights', indicating data retrieval without modification.
