Possible issue, or design limitation, with the Qlik MCP qlik_get_chart_data tool for objects with model types other than S

[cristian_dalsanto]

Hi everyone,

I've noticed what seems to be either an issue or a design limitation with the qlik_get_chart_data tool when used with, for example, a Pivot Table.

The tool returns an object where:

• totalRows correctly reports the number of rows available in the pivot.
• However, the data property is always returned as an empty array ([]).

As a workaround, the AI agent can read the chart's dimensions and measures, create a session object, and retrieve the data from that object. However, this requires an additional AI tool invocation, resulting in extra AI credit consumption for something that the original tool should already provide.

I experienced the same behavior with a stacked bar chart (which I believe has model type K). On the other hand, if I use a bar chart with a single dimension, everything works as expected (its model type should be S).

Has anyone else experienced the same issue?

Is this an expected design limitation, or could it be a bug?

Thanks in advance for any feedback or suggestions.

I imagine it happens with Anthropic as well as with OpenAI integration.
