Queries Smartscape entities via Grail DQL (Gen3-native).
AI agents call find_entities to retrieve information from Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves observability data (entities) from Dynatrace without side effects. It is a read-only query operation. Severity is medium rather than low because entity data could include sensitive infrastructure details, system topology, and configuration information that an agent with excessive or misdirected queries could expose; however, no data modification, destruction, or financial impact is possible.
From the tool's definition Tool queries Dynatrace Smartscape entities via Grail DQL; described as a query operation with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution of external commands. The verb 'find' and 'queries' indicate data retrieval only.

Register the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_entities: 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 Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
find_entities 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 find_entities 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 find_entities. 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.
find_entities is provided by the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server (mnmozi/dynatrace-mcp-saas). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
