Using MCP in a script to create and modify object types
Hi all, I’m trying to use MCP in a Foundry VS Code Repo for an SAP learning exercise/demo to create object types from SAP tables and rename properties using SAP data dictionary (DD) tables. Example input tables: EKKO → Purchase Orders EKPO → PO Items KNA1 → Customers DD03T → Table Field/Property Names The pattern I’m aiming for is: get the dataset columns look up each column in DD03T.FIELDNAME and get DD03T.DDTEXT use those values as property names create the Object Type rename the properties in bulk How do I use MCP in a script? See below for a pseudocode example of a python file. # filename: sap-mcp-pseudocode.py import palantir_mcp import [other_palantir_libraries] # Inputs: # EKKO (Purchase Orders) # EKPO (Purchase Order Items) # KNA1 (Customers) # DD03T dataset_configs = [ {"object_type": "Purchase Orders", "dataset": EKKO}, {"object_type": "PO Items", "dataset": EKPO}, {"object_type": "Customers", "dataset": KNA1}, ] for conf
Project scoped automation - scope not updating
We trigger automations via a Foundry client (OSDK) and want to run them project-scoped . The problem: newly created objects/resources aren’t included in the scope automatically. We’ve turned on the setting that’s meant to keep the project scope in sync with new objects, but they still don’t get picked up — so the automation can’t act on them until we intervene manually. This is the error we get when we try and save with project scoped: Is this a known limitation? How do you get project-scoped scope to reliably keep up with new objects? (We know user-scoped handles new objects fine — we specifically want to make project-scoped work so we can monitor logs etc.) 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Not able to select columns through linked type in an object table
Hi Community, Has anyone encountered the issue of being able to extract additional columns via a linked type for an object table? Typically this is done via clicking on “Configure Columns” on the column name of the object table. Ideally we would like to reduce data duplication and have smaller, logical, connected object types. However, since this is not possible, we end up needing to create large tables made up of joins with various datasets so users can opt for the columns they need on this object table. It would be interesting to see if anyone has faced this issue and what they did. We have explored derived properties, and function-backed columns but it does not work. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Website hosting returning "Page Not Found" after successful deployment
Hi, this is a technical infrastructure issue with website hosting on my Developer Tier enrollment. Issue: My OSDK React app’s hosted domain returns “Page Not Found” even though the domain shows “Domain ready” and version shows “Live” in Developer Console. Details: Domain: REDACTED.apps.euw-3.palantirfoundry.co.uk Developer Console shows domain is ready and version 0.1.0 is deployed with 9 files OAuth login completes successfully (consent screen works) But the callback redirects to a “Page Not Found” from the hosting infrastructure 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Automation on Ontology Branch Limitations
I see that automation cannot be run on ontology objects created on ontology branch or foundry branch. Also, it cannot execute actions or functions on ontology branch/foundry branch. If I would have to test my changes on ontology object created on ontology branch then what is the best practice? If not then can this feature be integrated? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
[Bug] Pre-release versions Automatically Update OSDK Versions
Hi, I have noticed an issue in dev console SDKs where if you select a function to automatically update to ‘Latest Published Version’, which is the default, when you tag and release a pre-release version, the function automatically upgrades to that pre-release version. I am not sure if this is a bug, or intended functionality, but it makes the pre-release functionality have little use if it cannot be used for safely testing changes. From my reading of the documentation, it sounds like this is not the intended functionality and a pre-release version should not be impacting these functions. Thanks 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Running action in a branch question
Hi, In Palantir foundry I create a branch. I try to run a Typescript function backed action. It throws a message saying “edits are not allowed”. I index the possible object types involved in the action. Now the data disappears in my branch. This is my consistent problem. Being not able to run actions in the branch. So I cannot test in a branch. Any one has suggestions, I greatly appreciate that. Thanks a lot. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Native .docx editing inside Foundry?
We have ontology objects with attachment-typed properties holding .docx documents (typically rendered from templates via docxtpl). Users need to edit the .docx and persist the changes back to the same property — with the PDF mediaset rendering the updated version for in-platform viewing. We’ve considered the obvious paths and none feels right: Notepad — not Word-fidelity, and the source documents originate outside Foundry. Workshop check-out / check-in via attachment download → local edit → upload action — works, but the round trip is friction for high-frequency editing. SharePoint co-edit with a URL property on the object — moves the source of truth off-platform. Custom Workshop widget hosting a JS .docx SaaS editor (SuperDoc, TipTap + mammoth) — external SaaS services aren’t an option, and pure-JS .docx round-trips are lossy on complex documents. Office Add-in calling Foundry from inside Word — viable but a real build and deployment story. Has anyone lande
AIP Logic still reference deleted field for ontology action
Hi Folks, I observed one bug in the AIP logic functionality. I was using update ontology action in AIP logic. It was published. Now, I removed few fields in that ontology action. Now when I run the AIP logic, it says transform not found. I tried removing that action and re-adding it back, but still the same issue. For now, I created another aip logic and it is working fine in newly created logic. It seems that older logic was not able to remove field from the ontology action inside aip logic. Letting Palantir team know about this issue. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Incompatible parameter types for group: Expected Object type but got Object type
I am encountering the following error in my Logic Function on Foundry: Incompatible parameter types for group: Expected Object type but got Object type This occurs when I attempt to use a group operation on my dataset. I have verified that the fields being grouped appear to be of the correct type, but the error persists. It is unclear from the error message which specific field or parameter is causing the type incompatibility. Steps Taken:- Checked the schema of the input data and confirmed the field types.- Attempted to cast fields to the expected types, but the error remains.- Reviewed the documentation for grouping operations in Logic Functions.Request:- Which field or parameter is causing this type mismatch?- Are there any known issues or additional requirements for grouping operations in Logic Functions that could cause this error? - Any recommended steps to resolve this issue?Thank you for your assistance. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topi
Did I ruin the ontology?
Im stuck that I cant add more things due to a object limitation of 60 objects. However I also cant delete anything in my ontology and start fresh. At this point would just resetting my entire account be the thing to do? Its kinda a shame because I also have some stuff that works on it that I would keep. I have an idea in mind and started working on it but after I did the work I couldnt save to the ontology due to vague restrictions. It told me the object limitation and I instantly lost all my progress. Tried deleting it so I can build it but I also cant delete it. Its giving me vague responses why I cant delete it. plz help. 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic

How can I call SQL on Ontology from Functions?
I’m writing a function that queries the Ontology. I would like to use a SQL syntax to query the Ontology. It seems that functions don’t have enough permissions to perform this query ( missingScope": "api:usage:sql-queries-execute ). What is the workaround to perform such queries ? Context: Some users prefer the syntax in SQL to perform particular operations (joins and aggregation) 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
5 Foundry/AIP features you're probably not using, but should be
After months of working with the platform, I noticed some of the most powerful features tend to get buried in changelogs. Here’s what’s actually changed my day-to-day workflow, hope it helps anyone onboarding or migrating pipelines. PRATICAL TIPS Global Branching — iterate without breaking prod (click for more details) Variable Lineage Graph in Workshop (click for more details) Ontology MCP — expose your ontology to external agents (click for more details) AIP Document Intelligence for structured document extraction (click for more details) Search logs in Workflow Lineage for production debugging (click for more details) Migration heads-up: if you’re still editing Python transforms in Code Repositories, note that starting June 2026 that editor moves to legacy status. VS Code Workspaces is now the recommended environment, it brings AI-assisted coding, integrated dataset preview, and a built-in terminal. Worth switching before you get stuck on a deprecated pa
Workshop Scenario
Hi everyone, I’m currently building an aviation app and ran into an issue while working with Workshop Scenarios. My use case is to create a “Work Package” inside a scenario and then compare scenarios to evaluate their impact on flights. However, I’m having trouble when trying to use components that allow selecting an object created within a scenario (i.e., not yet in the ontology). I can see the object in the dropdown and select it, but the selected object never loads afterward. At this point, I’m not sure where the issue is coming from: an ontology issue an action/configuration issue or a limitation of Workshop itself Specifically, I’m wondering: Is it actually possible to select and use an object that still exists only within a scenario (not yet applied to the ontology)? For comparison: I can select objects that already exist in the ontology without any issue Once I apply the scenario, the object becomes selectable and works as expected But before applyi
Help to configure my first Timeserie property
Hello, During my first attempt to implement a Timeserie property in my object type I faced trouble probably due to my miss understanding of one point. Can some one help me to understand if I’m right or wrong ? I can’t test my idea before 2 weeks and I will be glade to hear I’m on the good way. What I did: Create an object type with a PK and 2 other props from a dataset : e.g pk = Jig_Sensor, entry_into_service_date, status Created a Timeserie of each sensor daily metrics dataset with : Série ID (=machine_sensore, same has PK above), Date (=measure date), value (=measured value) Added a TIME SERIE property “sensor_metrics” in my object type from Object Manager and pairing with the URI of my Time serie dataset My expectations: Sparklines in object table ( Insight, workshop) Quick Time serie chart displaying metric of selected objects What I get : empty column in table and empty chart in quiver No time série values found by the system What I’m thinkin
From Political Science to Palantir: How an Etymology Habit Helped Me Understand "Ontology"
Hi everyone! This is my first post in the community, and I wanted to kick things off by sharing a bit of my background and how I stumbled upon this concept. My academic background is in Political Science . During my early university years, when I was completely overwhelmed by abstract political theories and dense terminology, I developed a habit that became an absolute lifesaver: always looking up the etymological roots of words . Going back to the origin of a term helped me grasp the “skeleton” of the idea behind it. Now that I’m diving into the Palantir ecosystem, I came across a word that immediately triggered that old student habit: Ontology . In the software world, we constantly hear about “data models,” “schemas,” or “pipelines,” so rescuing a deeply philosophical term genuinely fascinated me. I decided to apply my old trick to try to understand what we are actually doing here. 1. The Starting Point: Etymology True to form, I looked up the Greek roots of the word:
Pilot App & Property Security Policy Issue
We are having an issue with an OSDK application backed by Pilot App. Pilot App claims some of our object types are outdated. Creating a global branch in Pilot app generates an error: An error (OntologyMetadata:DeprecatedPropertySecurityGroupsFieldUsed) occurred with this request (error id: 92dbeb26-628c-4b94-a432-acd6a1c22894). We noticed this issue since we configured a property security policy on one our objects (Employee), which makes sense given the error. Our policy was very simple and complied with the restrictions . We’ve since removed the policy to see if this fixes the issue, but it doesn’t. This is not blocking us - we can create global branches elsewhere in Foundry, and in Code Workspaces we can tag and release our app. It just feels like a specific issue with Pilot App. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
