Get detailed information about a specific dataset
AI agents call get_dataset_info to retrieve information from MCP DS Toolkit Server 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 information about an existing dataset. It performs no modifications, deletions, or external operations. The action is purely informational and read-only, consistent with the Read category for safe data retrieval operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_dataset_info' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific dataset' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a specific dataset. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP DS Toolkit Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP DS Toolkit Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_dataset_info: 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 MCP DS Toolkit Server. Nothing to install.
get_dataset_info 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 get_dataset_info 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 get_dataset_info. 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.
get_dataset_info is provided by the MCP DS Toolkit Server MCP server (yasserelhaddar/mcp-ds-toolkit-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
