The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is being extended with a governed catalog API to provide domain engineers with direct access to metadata about data assets. This new API aims to allow AI assistants to answer questions about data sensitivity, ownership, and access permissions by querying this metadata layer, rather than relying on potentially outdated wiki pages or raw data queries. The system is designed to prevent hallucinations by ensuring answers are derived directly from the live policy and metadata, distinguishing between semantic queries about data values and catalog queries about the data itself. AI
