Get metadata for a specific table or view. Args: - doc_id (string): The document ID - table_id (string): The table ID or name - response_format:
AI agents call coda_get_table to retrieve information from Coda 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 information about a table structure and its metadata. It performs a read-only query operation with no capability to modify, delete, execute code, or create financial transactions. The retrieval of table metadata poses minimal security risk as it only exposes data structure information, not the actual table contents.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'coda_get_table' and description states 'Get metadata for a specific table or view.' The verb 'Get' and the word 'metadata' indicate retrieval without modification or side effects.

Get metadata for a specific table or view. Args: - doc_id (string): The document ID - table_id (string): The table ID or name - response_format:. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Coda MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Coda MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for coda_get_table: 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 Coda MCP Server. Nothing to install.
coda_get_table 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 coda_get_table 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 coda_get_table. 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.
coda_get_table is provided by the Coda MCP Server MCP server (thierryvm/coda-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
