Create a new chart in Superset. IMPORTANT: You must first call
AI agents use create_chart to create or update resources in Superset — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Superset environment.
This tool creates a new chart object in Superset, which is a reversible write operation (charts can be deleted). It does not read sensitive data without modification, execute arbitrary code, destroy data irreversibly, or move money.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_chart' and description 'Create a new chart in Superset' indicate creation of a new resource/object.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_chart gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Superset, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_chart:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_chart": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_chart_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_chart 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 new chart in Superset. IMPORTANT: You must first call. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Superset MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Superset MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_chart: 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 Superset. Nothing to install.
create_chart is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_chart 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 create_chart. 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.
create_chart is provided by the Superset MCP server (winding2020/superset-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Superset, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
