Get all charts in a specific dashboard with their basic information including chart IDs, names, visualization types, and dataset information.
AI agents call get_dashboard_charts to retrieve information from Superset without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns existing dashboard chart metadata without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it 'Get all charts in a specific dashboard' and retrieves 'basic information including chart IDs, names, visualization types, and dataset information.' This is a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

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 get_dashboard_charts:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_dashboard_charts": {}
}
}get_dashboard_charts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_dashboard_charts 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.
