It returns numbers, never rows. A table whose read under source permissions would be refused says so. Counts are withheld on a table the person asking does not read in full with their own SQL. Provider Policies are not applied. Each preview is recorded in the audit trail with the member it is about. ## Access This operation needs a Parable token. An MCP token cannot call it. See [Authentication](/getting-started/authentication.md) for the kinds of token. Your roles must grant one of `tenant.providerpolicies.view`, `tenant.providerpolicies.manage`. ## Errors * `WA-PP-007`: Parable could not read the access projection or count the tables. Try again. * `WA-PP-011`: No active member of the Workspace signs in with this email. Enter the email that a member of this Workspace signs in with. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /api/provider-policies/source-permissions/preview openapi: 3.0.3 info: description: >- Use the Workspace API to work with artifacts, connectors, Parables, and account resources. title: Workspace API version: v2026.10.22.1 servers: [] security: [] paths: /api/provider-policies/source-permissions/preview: post: tags: - Provider policies summary: Preview what one person reads under source permissions description: >- For the active member who signs in with the given email, counts the rows of each table source permissions model and the rows that member can open in the Provider, as a read under source permissions would decide them with the Workspace’s link-only setting.
