preset-mcp-datasets

Use for dataset-centered MCP workflows.

Always

  • Use list_datasets and get_dataset_info for dataset discovery.
  • Respect permission-denied responses; do not work around them with chart, dashboard, SQL, or API calls.
  • Use saved metrics and dimensions from get_dataset_info; query_dataset accepts saved metrics only, not ad-hoc expressions. When no saved metric fits, compute the aggregate with execute_sql (route to preset-mcp-sqllab) instead of guessing metric names or stopping to ask.
  • Use query_dataset for semantic-layer data results.
  • Use create_virtual_dataset only when the user wants to save SQL as a chartable dataset.

Decision Rules

  • Metadata only: list_datasets, get_dataset_info.
  • Result table from metrics/dimensions: route through preset-mcp-data / query_dataset.
  • SQL-to-chartable-dataset workflow: create_virtual_dataset.
  • Visualization from dataset: route to preset-mcp-visualization.
  • Database discovery: use list_databases and get_database_info through discovery.

Workflow Order

  1. Find the dataset with one list/search call (use a search filter and sufficient page_size); paginate or refine the filter only when the target is not in the returned page.
  2. Inspect columns and metrics with one get_dataset_info call before data or chart workflows.
  3. Query semantic-layer results only when the user asks for data.
  4. Save virtual datasets only when persistence is requested.
