Get Service Level Objectives
AI agents call get_slos to retrieve information from Datadog 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 Service Level Objectives data without side effects. It is a read-only query operation that returns monitoring/observability data. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if misused by an agent, as it only exposes visibility into existing SLO configurations.
