WHAT IT DOES

What list_teams does on Grafana MCP Server

AI agents call list_teams 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.

RISK

Why list_teams is rated Low

This tool retrieves and returns information about teams in Grafana. It performs a search operation that queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius is minimal—reading team membership lists poses low risk unless exposed teams are sensitive, but the tool itself is fundamentally a read-only query operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_teams' and description states it 'Search for Grafana teams by a query string. Returns a list of matching teams with details' — pure data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_teams safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Grafana MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_teams, this is the rule to start with:

list_teams Allowed

list_teams is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    "list_teams": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Grafana MCP Server, apply this rule, and every list_teams call is checked against it from then on.
