List all synthetic locations (both public and private) available for the environment.
AI agents call list_synthetic_locations 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 configuration metadata about available synthetic monitoring locations. It performs a simple enumeration/query of existing resources with no capability to modify, delete, execute, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only discover what synthetic locations are configured, which is non-sensitive operational metadata in an observability context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_synthetic_locations' and description 'List all synthetic locations' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. Matches the Read category pattern of 'list' operations that query data without modification.

List all synthetic locations (both public and private) available for the environment. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_synthetic_locations: 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.
list_synthetic_locations 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 list_synthetic_locations 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 list_synthetic_locations. 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.
list_synthetic_locations 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.
