Retrieves a specific analysis from an investigation by its UUID
AI agents call get_sift_analysis 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 performs a straightforward data retrieval operation. It fetches an existing analysis object by identifier without creating, modifying, or deleting data. The severity is low because retrieval of analysis data has minimal blast radius - at worst, an agent could access information it shouldn't, but cannot cause destructive or financial harm through this tool alone.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Retrieves a specific analysis from an investigation by its UUID' - the verb 'Retrieves' indicates a query operation with no side effects. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations is described.

Retrieves a specific analysis from an investigation by its UUID. 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 get_sift_analysis: 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.
get_sift_analysis 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 get_sift_analysis 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 get_sift_analysis. 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.
