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.

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.

Read-only

Tool Who can call it What it does
export_suite view on the suite Export a suite as a portable document you can review or re-create elsewhere.
get_adf_pipeline_status any signed-in user Deprecated alias for get_pipeline_status — use that tool instead.
get_asset any signed-in user Get one asset's health, the suites that check it, and its lineage neighbours.
get_check view on the suite Get one check's full definition by id.
get_check_history view on the suite Get one check's recent result history — how it has behaved run over run.
get_column_policy view on the suite Get the suite's failing-sample redaction policy — which columns are masked.
get_doc any signed-in user Read a published DataQ user-facing doc page, verbatim.
get_health_score any signed-in user Get the workspace data-quality health score and its trend.
get_incident view on the incident's suite Get one incident with its evidence card — why it opened and what else broke.
get_near_misses any signed-in user; suite-scoped when a suite is named Find orchestration triggers that are silently never firing.
get_notification_config view on the suite Get a suite's alert notification settings.

list_assets any signed-in user List the data assets (tables, views, files) DataQ knows about, with health.
list_check_versions view on the suite Get one check's edit history — how its definition has changed over time.
list_checks view on the suite List the checks (rules and monitors) configured on one suite.
list_connections any signed-in user List the configured datasource and orchestration connections, with health.
list_incidents any signed-in user; suite-scoped when a suite is named List data-quality incidents — what is unresolved right now, and since when.
list_notification_channels any signed-in user List every reusable notification channel defined in the workspace.
list_runs any signed-in user; suite-scoped when a suite is named List recent suite runs, newest first, with each run's data-quality outcome.

Changes state

Tool Who can call it What it does
ack_incident edit on the incident's suite Acknowledge an incident — record that someone is looking at it.
cancel_run edit on the suite Cancel a queued or still-running suite run.

create_schedule edit on the suite Schedule a suite to run automatically on a cron expression.
create_trigger_binding edit on the suite Run a suite automatically whenever an orchestrator pipeline succeeds.
delete_check edit on the suite Permanently delete a check from a suite — and every result it ever recorded.
delete_schedule edit on the suite Delete a suite's cron schedule so it stops running automatically.
delete_trigger_binding edit on the suite Delete an orchestration trigger so a pipeline stops running its suite.
import_suite workspace Member or Admin Create a whole suite in one call, from an exported suite document.
resolve_incident edit on the incident's suite Resolve an incident — declare the problem over.
restore_check_version edit on the suite Put a check back to one of its earlier versions.
set_column_policy edit on the suite Set which columns are masked in this suite's failing-sample rows.
snooze_check edit on the suite Mute a check's alerts for a while — or un-mute it now.

update_check edit on the suite Change an existing check's definition — a partial update.
update_schedule edit on the suite Change a suite's cron schedule — its cadence, its timezone, or pause/resume it.
update_suite edit on the suite Change a suite's name, description, or what it runs against.
update_trigger_binding edit on the suite Enable or disable an orchestration trigger without deleting it.

Live probe (persists nothing, opens a datasource — gated like a write)

Tool Who can call it What it does
dryrun_check edit on the suite Preview a check against live data WITHOUT saving it.
list_columns edit on the suite List the column names of a suite's table or file.
profile_column edit on the suite Profile one or more columns of a table or file on a suite's connection.

test_connection workspace Member or Admin Check whether a stored connection can actually reach its datasource.
