Implementation Reference
- src/index.js:51-51 (registration)The 'datasets_read' tool is registered as a static tool definition in the STATIC_TOOLS array. It is a proxy tool — there is no local handler. When the remote client is available (API key set), the CallToolRequestSchema handler (line 121) forwards the call to the remote MCP server. If no remote client is available, it returns an error saying an API key is required.

Requires 'uuid' (string, the dataset UUID), optional 'secret' (string, dataset secret key), and optional 'rows' (integer, default 10, number of rows to preview).

If no remote client is available, it returns an error instructing the user to set an API key.
