Get paginated list of all dashboards with optional filtering, sorting, and pagination. Uses Rison or JSON query parameters for filtering, sorting, pagination and for selecting specific columns and metadata.
AI agents call list_dashboards 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 retrieves and queries dashboard metadata with optional filtering and pagination—classic read-only operations with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius; an AI agent misusing this tool could only over-query or enumerate dashboards, not cause harm.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_dashboards' and description 'Get paginated list of all dashboards' indicates data retrieval only. No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_dashboards 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 list_dashboards:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_dashboards": {}
}
}list_dashboards is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get paginated list of all dashboards with optional filtering, sorting, and pagination. Uses Rison or JSON query parameters for filtering, sorting, pagination and for selecting specific columns and metadata. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Superset MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Superset MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_dashboards: 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.
list_dashboards 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 list_dashboards 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 list_dashboards. 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.
list_dashboards 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.
