THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why semantic_model_auto_optimize needs a policy

This tool modifies a Semantic Model by applying automated fixes via XMLA/TMSL commands. While described as 'safe fixes', it is making multiple changes to a data model (Write category). The severity is high because it applies 19 changes automatically in bulk to a production Semantic Model, which could have significant downstream impact on reports and analytics if any fix behaves unexpectedly.

From the tool's definition 'Applies all 19 safe fixes to a Semantic Model using XMLA/TMSL commands'

POLICY

How to control semantic_model_auto_optimize

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Force Fabric MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for semantic_model_auto_optimize:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "semantic_model_auto_optimize": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "semantic_model_auto_optimize_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

semantic_model_auto_optimize stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Force Fabric MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about semantic_model_auto_optimize

What does the semantic_model_auto_optimize tool do? +

AUTO-OPTIMIZE: Applies all 19 safe fixes to a Semantic Model using XMLA/TMSL commands. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on semantic_model_auto_optimize? +

Register the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for semantic_model_auto_optimize: 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 Force Fabric MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is semantic_model_auto_optimize? +

semantic_model_auto_optimize is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit semantic_model_auto_optimize? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the semantic_model_auto_optimize 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.

How do I block semantic_model_auto_optimize completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for semantic_model_auto_optimize. 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.

What MCP server provides semantic_model_auto_optimize? +

semantic_model_auto_optimize is provided by the Force Fabric MCP Server MCP server (tmdaidevs/force-fabric-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Force Fabric MCP Server tool call.

Start from Force Fabric MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
