Fetches a profile from a Pyroscope data source for a given time range
AI agents call fetch_pyroscope_profile to retrieve information from Mcp Grafana without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves performance profiling data from Pyroscope without modifying, executing code, or creating financial transactions. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could only access historical profiling data within the specified time range, which poses minimal security risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'fetch_pyroscope_profile' and description 'Fetches a profile from a Pyroscope data source for a given time range' indicate a retrieval operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Fetches a profile from a Pyroscope data source for a given time range. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Grafana MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mcp Grafana MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for fetch_pyroscope_profile: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Grafana. Nothing to install.
fetch_pyroscope_profile is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the fetch_pyroscope_profile rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for fetch_pyroscope_profile. 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.
fetch_pyroscope_profile is provided by the Mcp Grafana MCP server (@leval/mcp-grafana). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
