Server tool list (6)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

get_refresh_statusGet the current refresh status of all monitored Power BI datasets. Shows which datasets are healthy, failing, delayed, or disabled. Use this to get a quick overview of your Power BI environment health, or to check whether a specific workspace is having refresh problems.
get_incidentsGet open incidents (active alerts) from MetricSign. Incidents are automatically created when refresh failures, schema changes, or volume anomalies are detected. Use this to see what needs attention right now, or to review recently closed incidents for a post-mortem.
get_fix_suggestionGet MetricSign's Fix-tab recommendation for a specific incident or error code. Returns translated error descriptions and direct links to resolve the issue. This is MetricSign's key differentiator — it tells you not just what broke, but exactly how to fix it, with step-by-step guidance and links directly into Power BI, Azure Data Factory, or Fabric. Provide either an incident_id (from get_incidents) or a raw Power BI error code.
get_data_chainVisualize the upstream and downstream dependencies for a Power BI dataset. Shows the full data lineage across Azure Data Factory, Fabric Pipelines, Databricks, and Power BI — so you can trace exactly where a failure originated and which downstream reports or dashboards are affected. Use this when a dataset is failing and you need to know which pipeline or job to investigate, or when you want to understand the blast radius of a failure.
get_environment_summaryGet a high-level summary of the monitored Power BI environment. Includes total datasets, success rate, active incidents count, and recent trends. Perfect for a morning status check, a team standup, or management reporting. Call this first to understand the overall health before drilling into specific datasets or incidents.
search_datasetsSearch for a specific Power BI dataset by name or keyword. Useful when you know part of a dataset name and want to find its current status or details. Returns matching datasets with their workspace, status, and last refresh time. Use this before calling get_data_chain or get_fix_suggestion when you are not sure of the exact dataset name.
