Datalogz Control Tower MCP FAQ

Does my assistant see the contents of our reports? No. It sees metadata: names, types, owners, workspaces, refresh outcomes, usage counts, access roles, similarity scores and lineage edges. It does not see the rows inside a dataset, the visuals on a page, or the results of a query.

Can it change anything in Control Tower or in Power BI? No. Every tool is read-only. See What this server will not do.

Will the numbers match what the app shows? Yes. It reads the same warehouse, so figures reconcile with BI360, Inventory and Alerts, and are as fresh as your last connector scan.

Can someone ask about a connector they are not entitled to? No. Every query is scoped to the calling credential, using the same permission model as the app.

Do I need to know the tool names? No. Ask in plain language and a connected assistant picks the tools. Common questions shows the sequences if you want to check the route it took.

Does it work for platforms other than Power BI? Yes, with narrower coverage. Inventory, alerts and refresh health work everywhere. Usage, viewers, workspace access and capacity state are Power BI only.

Is it safe to let a wider team use it? It is read-only, and each person's credential scopes what they can reach. Treat responses the way you treat exports from the app, since usage and access tools return names and email addresses. See Datalogz Security.
