Display a rich, premium status dashboard using Prefab UI.
AI agents call show_status_dashboard to retrieve information from Observability MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool's function is to show or render an existing dashboard—a read-only display of status and metrics data. No side effects, no data modification, no code execution, no destructive operations, and no financial transactions. This is a straightforward data retrieval and visualization capability, making it a Read category risk with low severity.
