Data and wait limits
A preview is a sample, not a full export. Use
get_dataset_fields for
field names and the publish/download tools for a complete file.
Workflow and download approval
Paid workflow types include enrichment, qualification, research, contact enrichment, and similar-company expansion. Call withoutconfirm first.
When the result is needs_confirmation, show the quote or row count and
ask for agreement before repeating with confirm: true. Keep the selected
account_id on both calls, and on every subsequent workflow poll and download.
An exact estimate is not always available. A missing estimate does not mean
an operation is free. get_download_url also requires approval and reports
the row count before the confirmed call.
Limit rows with transform_dataset before requesting a quote if you want to
process a smaller set. Use the transform’s output_dataset_id for the paid
call so the quote and operation apply to the same working set.
Research search approval
search in research mode uses a separate conversation flow. The initial
turn can finish with a SQL proposal and credit quote but no dataset. Show that
proposal and wait for user agreement. After approval, call:
search has no confirm boolean argument. Keep the same session
and account so approval applies to the quoted research request.
Continue polling any returned handle or workflow ID; a completed quote turn
does not mean the research dataset has been built.
Changes and permissions
Preview and metadata tools inspect data. Other tools can upload, create, publish, delete, or process datasets.delete_dataset requires explicit
confirmation. Cancel a workflow only when the user asks to stop it; cancellation
does not undo completed work or credits already spent.
An approval argument is a client instruction, not an independent guarantee
that a person approved the action. Keep your client’s tool-approval controls
enabled and review changes and costs. Passing an account_id selects request
context; it does not grant access to that account.
For prompts that apply these approval rules, see the MCP prompt cookbook. For client-specific recovery, see Connect Landbase to Grok Bot and Troubleshoot MCP.
