Why generate_deeplink needs a policy

With no description available, classification is based solely on the name. 'Generate deeplink' implies creating a URL reference or navigation link, which is likely a read/utility operation with minimal side effects. Confidence is low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'generate_deeplink' with empty description; name alone suggests generating a URL/link rather than reading, writing, executing, or deleting data.

POLICY

How to control generate_deeplink

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Grafana FastMCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_deeplink:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_deeplink": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_deeplink_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_deeplink gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Grafana FastMCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
