generate_deeplink

Part of the Mcp Grafana Npx MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use generate_deeplink to create or modify resources in Mcp Grafana Npx. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GENERATE_DEEPLINK

Without a policy, an AI agent could call generate_deeplink repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Mcp Grafana Npx.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

tools:
  generate_deeplink:
    rules:
      - action: allow

// FAQ

What does the generate_deeplink tool do? +

Generate deeplink URLs for Grafana resources. Supports dashboards (requires dashboardUid), panels (requires dashboardUid and panelId), and Explore queries (requires datasourceUid and optionally queries). For explore links, the time range and queries are embedded inside the Grafana explore state.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Grafana Npx MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_deeplink? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for generate_deeplink. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Mcp Grafana Npx MCP server.

What risk level is generate_deeplink? +

generate_deeplink is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit generate_deeplink? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_deeplink rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block generate_deeplink completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for generate_deeplink. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides generate_deeplink? +

generate_deeplink is provided by the Mcp Grafana Npx MCP server (mcp-grafana-npx). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
