The guidance is the strong part. An atlan-search skill of 8,358 characters plus six reference files says which tool fits which ask and when not to use one, ten coded errors each carry a recovery step, and the skill says which fields don't come back unless requested. Search returns 20 results by default and 100 at most, or a count alone, and query_assets stops at 100 rows of read-only SQL. What I couldn't read is the tools themselves. The hosted server is closed and lists them only after a tenant sign-in, so schemas and context cost are unchecked, and there's no public OpenAPI file for the REST API. The MCP security page says the server handles only metadata, beside a SQL tool that returns rows. Three, because the instructions are careful and the surface they describe is unread.

Each write returns a preview, waits for approval and needs the user's own edit permission, and nothing I read says a person, not the model, must give that approval. Read-only mode strips write, admin and lifecycle tools, and a customer gets it by asking Atlan. OAuth with PKCE runs each call as the user under their personas and policies, API tokens carrying more than one persona are refused, and no secret travels in a query string. Scopes and token expiry are unchecked. query_assets refuses anything but SELECT, WITH, SHOW, DESCRIBE and EXPLAIN and still returns up to 100 warehouse rows, beside an MCP security page that says the server handles only metadata. Gateway injection guardrails are claimed, not described. Calls are logged with arguments redacted. Four, because writes stop for approval, and the off switch belongs to Atlan.
