Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
add_activity_to_incident
Add a note (userNote activity) to an existing incident's timeline using its ID. The note body can include URLs which will be attached as context. Use this to add context to an incident.
create_incident
Create a new Grafana incident. Requires title, severity, and room prefix. Allows setting status and labels. This tool should be used judiciously and sparingly, and only after confirmation from the user, as it may notify or alarm lots of people.
fetch_pyroscope_profile
Fetches a profile from a Pyroscope data source for a given time range. By default, the time range is tha past 1 hour. The profile type is required, available profile types can be fetched via the list_pyroscope_profile_types tool. Not all profile types are available for every service. Expect some queries to return empty result sets, this indicates the profile type does not exist for that query. In such a case, consider trying a related profile type or giving up. Matchers are not required, but highly recommended, they are generally used to select an application by the service_name label (e.g. {service_name="foo"}). Use the list_pyroscope_label_names tool to fetch available label names, and the list_pyroscope_label_values tool to fetch available label values. The returned profile is in DOT format.
find_error_pattern_logs
Searches Loki logs for elevated error patterns compared to the last day's average, waits for the analysis to complete, and returns the results including any patterns found.
find_slow_requests
Searches relevant Tempo datasources for slow requests, waits for the analysis to complete, and returns the results.
generate_deeplink
Generate deeplink URLs for Grafana resources. Supports dashboards (requires dashboardUid), panels (requires dashboardUid and panelId), and Explore queries (requires datasourceUid). Optionally accepts time range and additional query parameters.
get_alert_rule_by_uid
Retrieves the full configuration and detailed status of a specific Grafana alert rule identified by its unique ID (UID). The response includes fields like title, condition, query data, folder UID, rule group, state settings (no data, error), evaluation interval, annotations, and labels.

get_dashboard_panel_queries
Get the title, query string, and datasource information for each panel in a dashboard. The datasource is an object with fields uid (which may be a concrete UID or a template variable like "$datasource") and type. If the datasource UID is a template variable, it won't be usable directly for queries. Returns an array of objects, each representing a panel, with fields: title, query, and datasource (an object with uid and type).
get_datasource_by_name
Retrieves detailed information about a specific datasource using its name. Returns the full datasource model, including UID, type, URL, access settings, JSON data, and secure JSON field status.
get_datasource_by_uid
Retrieves detailed information about a specific datasource using its UID. Returns the full datasource model, including name, type, URL, access settings, JSON data, and secure JSON field status.
get_incident
Get a single incident by ID. Returns the full incident details including title, status, severity, labels, timestamps, and other metadata.
get_oncall_shift
Get detailed information for a specific Grafana OnCall shift using its ID. A shift represents a designated time period within a schedule when users are actively on-call. Returns the full shift details.
get_sift_analysis
Retrieves a specific analysis from an investigation by its UUID. The investigation ID and analysis ID should be provided as strings in UUID format.
get_sift_investigation
Retrieves an existing Sift investigation by its UUID. The ID should be provided as a string in UUID format (e.g. '02adab7c-bf5b-45f2-9459-d71a2c29e11b').
list_alert_rules
Lists Grafana alert rules, returning a summary including UID, title, current state (e.g., 'pending', 'firing', 'inactive'), and labels. Supports filtering by labels using selectors and pagination. Example label selector: [{'name': 'severity', 'type': '=', 'value': 'critical'}]. Inactive state means the alert state is normal, not firing
list_contact_points
Lists Grafana notification contact points, returning a summary including UID, name, and type for each. Supports filtering by name - exact match - and limiting the number of results.
list_datasources
List available Grafana datasources. Optionally filter by datasource type (e.g., 'prometheus', 'loki'). Returns a summary list including ID, UID, name, type, and default status.
list_incidents
List Grafana incidents. Allows filtering by status ('active', 'resolved') and optionally including drill incidents. Returns a preview list with basic details.
list_loki_label_names
Lists all available label names (keys) found in logs within a specified Loki datasource and time range. Returns a list of unique label strings (e.g., ["app", "env", "pod"]). If the time range is not provided, it defaults to the last hour.
list_loki_label_values
Retrieves all unique values associated with a specific labelName within a Loki datasource and time range. Returns a list of string values (e.g., for labelName="env", might return ["prod", "staging", "dev"]). Useful for discovering filter options. Defaults to the last hour if the time range is omitted.
list_oncall_schedules
List Grafana OnCall schedules, optionally filtering by team ID. If a specific schedule ID is provided, retrieves details for only that schedule. Returns a list of schedule summaries including ID, name, team ID, timezone, and shift IDs. Supports pagination.
list_oncall_teams
List teams configured in Grafana OnCall. Returns a list of team objects with their details. Supports pagination.
list_oncall_users
List users from Grafana OnCall. Can retrieve all users, a specific user by ID, or filter by username. Returns a list of user objects with their details. Supports pagination.
list_prometheus_label_names
List label names in a Prometheus datasource. Allows filtering by series selectors and time range.
list_prometheus_label_values
Get the values for a specific label name in Prometheus. Allows filtering by series selectors and time range.
list_prometheus_metric_metadata
List Prometheus metric metadata. Returns metadata about metrics currently scraped from targets. Note: This endpoint is experimental.
list_prometheus_metric_names
List metric names in a Prometheus datasource. Retrieves all metric names and then filters them locally using the provided regex. Supports pagination.
list_pyroscope_label_names
Lists all available label names (keys) found in profiles within a specified Pyroscope datasource, time range, and optional label matchers. Label matchers are typically used to qualify a service name ({service_name="foo"}). Returns a list of unique label strings (e.g., ["app", "env", "pod"]). Label names with double underscores (e.g. name) are internal and rarely useful to users. If the time range is not provided, it defaults to the last hour.
list_pyroscope_label_values
Lists all available label values for a particular label name found in profiles within a specified Pyroscope datasource, time range, and optional label matchers. Label matchers are typically used to qualify a service name ({service_name="foo"}). Returns a list of unique label strings (e.g. for label name "env": ["dev", "staging", "prod"]).

Defaults to the last hour, a limit of 10 entries, and 'backward' direction (newest first). Supports full LogQL syntax for log and metric queries (e.g., {app="foo"} |= "error", rate({app="bar"}[1m])). Prefer using query_loki_stats first to check stream size and list_loki_label_names and list_loki_label_values to verify labels exist.
query_loki_stats
Retrieves statistics about log streams matching a given LogQL selector within a Loki datasource and time range. Returns an object containing the count of streams, chunks, entries, and total bytes (e.g., {"streams": 5, "chunks": 50, "entries": 10000, "bytes": 512000}).
