MCP server providing access to Grafana instance and surrounding ecosystem including dashboards, datasources, Prometheus, Loki, incidents, alerts, on-call schedules, and profiling
Critical gaps across all dimensions. Tool definitions exist but lack essential structure. No visible input schemas in source code, cannot verify parameter types, constraints, or descriptions. Tool descriptions are present but generic (10-50 chars), providing minimal LLM guidance. No evidence of output schema documentation. Error handling and recovery guidance absent. Naming follows verb_noun convention but lacks clarity on parameter expectations. This server is in the F/D range, barely functional for agent use.
Admin tools for listing teams and performing administrative tasks
Alerting tools for listing and fetching alert rules and notification contact points
Asserts tools for assertion management
Dashboard tools for searching, retrieving, updating, and creating dashboards
Datasource tools for listing and fetching datasource details
Incident tools for searching, creating, updating, and resolving incidents in Grafana Incident
No input schemas visible in source code. Cannot verify parameter types, constraints, enums, or descriptions. All 13 tools score 0 on schema dimension.
Tool descriptions are generic and under 50 characters (e.g., 'Asserts tools for assertion management'). Descriptions lack WHAT the tool does, WHEN to use it, and prerequisites. LLMs cannot determine tool selection intent.
No output schema documentation visible. LLMs cannot plan downstream tool calls or extract required fields. Pagination, field structure, and chaining IDs unknown.

Loki tools for running LogQL queries and retrieving log metadata
Navigation tools for generating deeplink URLs for Grafana resources like dashboards, panels, and Explore queries
OnCall tools for viewing and managing on-call schedules, shifts, teams, and users
Prometheus tools for running PromQL queries and retrieving metric metadata
Pyroscope tools for profiling applications and fetching profiling data
Search tools for Grafana dashboards and resources
Sift tools for starting and managing Sift investigations, analyzing logs/traces, finding error patterns, and detecting slow requests
No error handling or recovery guidance visible. Tools do not indicate retryability, user-fixable errors, or actionable next steps. Agents cannot self-correct on failures.
WRITE tools (incident, dashboard, oncall, sift, admin) lack confirmation/dry-run patterns. Agents can execute irreversible operations without safeguards.
