# get_dashboard_property Get specific parts of a dashboard using JSONPath expressions to minimize context window usage Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_dashboard_property`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-dashboard-property ## Facts - Tool: `get_dashboard_property` - Server: Grafana MCP Server (`0xteamhq/mcp-grafana`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana.md - Homepage: https://github.com/0xteamhq/mcp-grafana - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade C, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_dashboard_property", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_dashboard_property is rated Low This tool retrieves dashboard properties/data using JSONPath queries. It is a read-only operation that queries existing dashboard information without modifying, deleting, executing code, or triggering external operations. The explicit design to 'minimize context window usage' through selective property retrieval further confirms it is a read operation with no state modification. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_dashboard_property' and description 'Get specific parts of a dashboard using JSONPath expressions' indicate data retrieval with no side effects." ## Use case AI agents call get_dashboard_property 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": { "get_dashboard_property": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Grafana MCP Server (42) - `query_loki_logs` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/query-loki-logs.md - `fetch_pyroscope_profile` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/fetch-pyroscope-profile.md - `find_error_pattern_logs` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/find-error-pattern-logs.md - `find_slow_requests` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/find-slow-requests.md - `generate_deeplink` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/generate-deeplink.md - `get_alert_rule_by_uid` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-alert-rule-by-uid.md - `get_assertions` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-assertions.md - `get_current_oncall_users` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-current-oncall-users.md - `get_dashboard_by_uid` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-dashboard-by-uid.md - `get_dashboard_panel_queries` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-dashboard-panel-queries.md - `get_dashboard_summary` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-dashboard-summary.md - `get_datasource_by_name` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-datasource-by-name.md - `get_datasource_by_uid` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-datasource-by-uid.md - `get_incident` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-incident.md - `get_oncall_shift` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-oncall-shift.md - `get_sift_analysis` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-sift-analysis.md - `get_sift_investigation` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/get-sift-investigation.md - `list_alert_rules` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-alert-rules.md - `list_contact_points` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-contact-points.md - `list_datasources` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-datasources.md - `list_incidents` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-incidents.md - `list_loki_label_names` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-loki-label-names.md - `list_loki_label_values` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-loki-label-values.md - `list_oncall_schedules` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-oncall-schedules.md - `list_oncall_teams` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-oncall-teams.md - `list_oncall_users` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-oncall-users.md - `list_prometheus_label_names` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-prometheus-label-names.md - `list_prometheus_label_values` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-prometheus-label-values.md - `list_prometheus_metric_metadata` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-prometheus-metric-metadata.md - `list_prometheus_metric_names` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana/list-prometheus-metric-names.md - …and 12 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/0xteamhq-mcp-grafana.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
