WHAT IT DOES

What deploy_ramp_dashboard does on Grafana MCP Server

AI agents use deploy_ramp_dashboard to create or update resources in Grafana MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Grafana MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why deploy_ramp_dashboard needs a policy

'Deploy' indicates creating or installing a dashboard to a target sensor, which is a Write operation (creating/modifying data in Grafana). It does not appear to delete, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because deploying a dashboard could overwrite existing configurations, but the description is sparse so confidence is moderate.
