What get_dataset does on CDISC Library MCP Server

AI agents call get_dataset to retrieve information from CDISC Library MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_dataset needs a policy

The tool retrieves and presents existing clinical data standards documentation (CDISC dataset structure and metadata). It has no side effects, cannot modify or delete data, and cannot execute code. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent, as it only exposes informational content about standards rather than production data or system resources.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_dataset' and description indicate retrieval of 'detailed information' about a dataset, including 'structure explanation, variable list etc.' This is a query/fetch operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
