## Transports

Streamable HTTP

## Authentication

Google Cloud authentication: OAuth 2.0 using Application Default Credentials (ADC) in supported Google clients, or a client OAuth ID/secret or bearer token in compatible third-party clients. The principal needs mcp.tools.call plus the underlying product permissions; API key authentication is only available for services that explicitly support it.

## Tools

- **search_lineage**: Performs a breadth-first search (upstream or downstream) to retrieve lineage links for an asset identified by its Fully Qualified Name (FQN). Supports Column-Level Lineage (CLL), including wildcards to retrieve all CLL for an entity FQN. The search_lineage method also retrieves link-creating processes if max_process_per_link is not zero and links.processes.process is requested in the FieldMask . Required project permissions for stored links and processes are as follows: - datalineage.events.get for links stored for entity-level lineage - datalineage.events.getFields for links stored for column-level lineage - datalineage.processes.get for processes.
