AI agents call list_oncall_teams to retrieve information from Grafana FastMCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries a list of on-call teams from Grafana's on-call management system. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is low since listing teams only exposes observability/organizational data that does not alter system state or trigger external actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_oncall_teams' indicates retrieval of on-call team information. The server description confirms the tool is part of a suite for 'managing alerts, incidents, and on-call shifts' and 'accessing observability data'.

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 list_oncall_teams:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_oncall_teams": {}
}
}list_oncall_teams is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Register the Grafana FastMCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_oncall_teams: 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 Grafana FastMCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_oncall_teams 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 list_oncall_teams 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.

list_oncall_teams is provided by the Grafana FastMCP Server MCP server (sandersouza/grafanafastmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Grafana FastMCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
