Extract all panel queries from a dashboard. Each entry has panel_id, panel_title, datasource_uid, datasource_type, expr, and is_log_query. Use this to discover the LogQL/datasource_uid behind a Grafana dashboard URL, then feed expr into query_logs.raw_logql.
AI agents call extract_dashboard_queries to retrieve information from Grafana without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs read-only data retrieval—it queries Grafana's dashboard configuration and returns structured metadata about panels and their associated queries. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations; it merely extracts and returns information. This aligns with the 'Read' category.
From the tool's definition Tool extracts and returns panel query metadata (panel_id, panel_title, datasource_uid, datasource_type, expr, is_log_query) from dashboards.

Extract all panel queries from a dashboard. Each entry has panel_id, panel_title, datasource_uid, datasource_type, expr, and is_log_query. Use this to discover the LogQL/datasource_uid behind a Grafana dashboard URL, then feed expr into query_logs.raw_logql. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Grafana MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Grafana MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for extract_dashboard_queries: 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 Grafana. Nothing to install.
extract_dashboard_queries 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 extract_dashboard_queries 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 extract_dashboard_queries. 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.
extract_dashboard_queries is provided by the Grafana MCP server (ninanung/grafana-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
