## Why fetch_pyroscope_profile is rated Low

This tool retrieves profiling data from Pyroscope, a performance profiling backend. Fetching/querying monitoring and profiling data is a non-destructive read operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute arbitrary code. The blast radius if misused is limited to information disclosure of performance metrics that are typically intended to be observable by authorized users.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'fetch_pyroscope_profile' and description 'Fetches a profile from a Pyroscope data source for a given time range' indicate data retrieval with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call fetch_pyroscope_profile to retrieve information from Grafana MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Grafana MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fetch_pyroscope_profile": {}
  }
}
```
