Retrieve all Metabase dashboards configured for embedding (requires superuser) - use this to audit embedded content or manage external integrations
AI agents call list_embeddable_dashboards to retrieve information from Metabase MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and lists existing dashboards with embedding configuration. It performs pure information retrieval with no side effects—no data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The superuser requirement reflects access control but does not elevate the category.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval: 'Retrieve all Metabase dashboards configured for embedding'. No modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary operations occurs. The tool 'list' and 'retrieve' data about existing dashboards.

Retrieve all Metabase dashboards configured for embedding (requires superuser) - use this to audit embedded content or manage external integrations. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Metabase MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Metabase MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_embeddable_dashboards: 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 Metabase MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_embeddable_dashboards 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 list_embeddable_dashboards 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 list_embeddable_dashboards. 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.
list_embeddable_dashboards is provided by the Metabase MCP Server MCP server (thangnm93/metabase-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
