Feature Request: Include folder attributes in LookerDashboard search results
Description
The Atlan MCP currently doesn't return folder-related attributes (folderName, folder) when searching for LookerDashboard assets, even though these attributes are documented in the Atlan API and visible in the Atlan UI.
Problem
When using search_assets_tool or get_assets_by_dsl_tool to query LookerDashboard assets, the results only include a limited set of attributes:
- qualifiedName
- name
- meanings
- ownerUsers
- ownerGroups
- connectorName
- __hasLineage
- sourceCreatedAt
- sourceUpdatedAt
- assetTags
The folderName and folder relationship attributes are not returned, regardless of what's specified in include_attributes.
Use Case
We need to filter Looker dashboards by their parent folder to ensure users only see dashboards from official/approved folders. This is critical for:
- Quality control - excluding personal/test dashboards
- Governance - ensuring only vetted dashboards are recommended
- Organization - understanding dashboard hierarchy
Expected Behavior
When searching for LookerDashboard assets with include_attributes: ["folderName", "folder"], the API should return these folder-related attributes as documented in the Atlan LookerDashboard model.
Current Workaround
None available through the MCP interface.
Proposed Solution
Update the MCP search tools to properly expose all documented attributes, specifically:
folderName (string) - Name of the parent folder
folder (relationship) - Reference to the LookerFolder entity
Example Request
search_assets_tool(
asset_type="LookerDashboard",
conditions={"name": "Dashboard Name"},
include_attributes=["folderName", "folder"]
)
Environment
- Atlan MCP Server
- pyatlan SDK (underlying)
- Asset type: LookerDashboard
