AI agents call analyze_golden_metrics to retrieve information from NewRelic 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 and queries data about golden metrics (predefined performance indicators) for NewRelic entities. It returns informational data only—metric definitions and NRQL query templates—without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary operations. The tool is purely informational/analytical in nature, making it a Read category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get[s] the golden metrics' and 'Returns metric names, titles, and the NRQL queries used to calculate them.' The verb 'Get' and the focus on retrieval of predefined metrics and query definitions indicate a read-only operation with…

Get the golden metrics defined for a NewRelic entity. Golden metrics are the key performance indicators that NewRelic recommends monitoring for each entity type (APM applications, hosts, etc.). Returns metric names, titles, and the NRQL queries used to calculate them. Use these queries to understand what metrics are important for an entity. It is categorised as a Read tool in the NewRelic MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NewRelic MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for analyze_golden_metrics: 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 NewRelic MCP Server. Nothing to install.
analyze_golden_metrics 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 analyze_golden_metrics 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 analyze_golden_metrics. 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.
analyze_golden_metrics is provided by the NewRelic MCP Server MCP server (ruminaider/newrelic-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
