What context-prometheus does on Prometheus

AI agents call context-prometheus to retrieve information from Prometheus without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why context-prometheus needs a policy

This tool appears to provide guidance, rules, and guidelines for interacting with Prometheus—essentially a reference or documentation lookup function. It retrieves information to inform proper usage but does not itself execute queries, modify data, delete anything, or trigger external operations. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused, as it only retrieves instructional/reference content.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Consultes as regras e diretrizes para fazer queries' (Consults the rules and guidelines for making queries), indicating it retrieves configuration/reference information about how to query Prometheus.
