# 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.
