Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| handle_get_app_measuresA | MCP tool handler for retrieving Qlik Sense measures. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, creates a MeasureList session object, retrieves all measure metadata, and returns the results as structured JSON. |
| handle_list_qlik_applicationsA | MCP tool handler for listing all Qlik Sense applications. This tool connects to Qlik Sense server global context and retrieves a list of all available applications with their names and IDs. |
| handle_get_app_variablesA | MCP tool handler for retrieving Qlik Sense variables. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, creates a VariableList session object, retrieves all variable metadata, and returns the results as structured JSON. |
| handle_get_app_fieldsA | MCP tool handler for retrieving Qlik Sense fields and table information. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, creates a FieldList session object, retrieves all field metadata and table information, and returns the results as structured JSON for data model analysis. |
| handle_get_app_sheetsA | MCP tool handler for retrieving Qlik Sense sheets. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, creates a SheetList session object, retrieves all sheet metadata, and returns the results as structured JSON. |
| handle_get_sheet_objectsB | MCP tool handler for retrieving visualization objects from a sheet. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, retrieves the sheet and all its visualization objects with detailed metadata, and returns the results as structured JSON for analysis. |
| handle_get_app_dimensionsA | MCP tool handler for retrieving dimensions from a Qlik Sense application. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, retrieves all dimensions with their metadata and configuration details, and returns the results as structured JSON for analysis. |
| handle_get_app_scriptA | MCP tool handler for retrieving and analyzing the script from a Qlik Sense application. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, retrieves the complete application script used for data loading and transformation, optionally performs detailed analysis including BINARY LOAD extraction, and returns it as structured JSON. |
| handle_get_app_data_sourcesA | MCP tool handler for retrieving data sources from a Qlik Sense application. This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, retrieves the lineage information to identify all data sources used in LOAD and STORE statements, and returns categorized results for analysis. |

Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct Qlik Sense application component (data sources, dimensions, fields, measures, script, sheets, variables, sheet objects, or app listing). There is no functional overlap; an agent can easily select the correct tool for a specific task.
All tool names follow a consistent pattern: 'handle_verb_noun' (e.g., handle_get_app_fields). The prefix 'handle_' is a code artifact that is not user-friendly, but the verb-noun structure after it is consistent and predictable.
With 9 tools, the set is well-scoped for a read-only analysis server. Each tool covers a major aspect of Qlik Sense applications, and there is no redundancy or unnecessary tools.
The tool set covers the primary read operations for Qlik Sense applications: listing apps, retrieving script, data model components (fields, data sources), and analytics objects (dimensions, measures, sheets, variables, sheet objects). Minor gaps exist, such as lacking support for bookmarks or master items, but core workflows are covered.
