About

A bigquery-get-dataset-info tool retrieves metadata for a BigQuery dataset.

bigquery-get-dataset-info accepts the following parameters:

• dataset (required): Specifies the dataset for which to retrieve metadata.
• project (optional): Defines the Google Cloud project ID. If not provided, the tool defaults to the project from the source configuration.

The tool's behavior regarding these parameters is influenced by the allowedDatasets restriction on the bigquery source:

• Without allowedDatasets restriction: The tool can retrieve metadata for any dataset specified by the dataset and project parameters.
• With allowedDatasets restriction: Before retrieving metadata, the tool verifies that the requested dataset is in the allowed list. If it is not, the request is denied. If only one dataset is specified in the allowedDatasets list, it will be used as the default value for the dataset parameter.
