What list_contact_points does on Grafana MCP Server

AI agents call list_contact_points to retrieve information from Grafana MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_contact_points needs a policy

This tool retrieves notification contact point configurations from Grafana without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is purely informational. While contact point information could be sensitive (revealing notification recipients), the impact of listing this data is limited to information disclosure; an AI misuse would expose contact details but not cause operational damage.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_contact_points' and description 'List all notification contact points' indicate a read-only retrieval operation. The verb 'list' and the absence of any modification language confirm this is a query operation with no side effects.
