MCP tools¶
Every tool DataQ's MCP server exposes at /mcp, generated from the server itself — the
gate column is the authorization each tool declares (the same table the RBAC test sweeps
run against), and the description is the opening of what an AI assistant is shown.
| Count | |

| Tools | 50 |
| Read-only | 27 |
| Changes state | 18 |
| Live probe | 5 |
No tool creates, edits or re-credentials a connection: every Admin-only capability is a connection mutation, and a credential must never transit an LLM.
