Use the Grafana Cloud connector safely

Gives your AI agent the right way to work with a Grafana Cloud stack: confirm the stack, pick the right tool, keep results small, and ask before any change to alerts, annotations, incidents or on-call.

Use it when

You have just connected Grafana Cloud and want to know what the agent can and cannot change.
You manage more than one Grafana stack and need queries to hit the correct one.
An agent is about to create an annotation, alert rule or incident and you want an approval step.

Tools it uses

ask_assistant
get_dashboard_by_uid
get_dashboard_summary
get_dashboard_panel_queries
get_dashboard_property
get_datasource
get_alert_group
get_incident
get_assertions
find_error_pattern_logs
find_slow_requests
get_annotations
get_annotation_tags
get_current_oncall_users
get_oncall_shift
alerting_manage_routing
describe_clickhouse_table
describe_infrastructure
generate_deeplink
create_annotation
create_folder
alerting_manage_rules
create_incident
add_activity_to_incident

Example

Connect to my production Grafana stack and tell me what you can read and what you would need my permission to change.

Connected to the production stack, which is the only one linked to this client. Read access works across dashboards, logs and on-call. Write actions (annotations, folders, alert rules, routing and incidents) are available but will each wait for your explicit yes before running.

Review Grafana Cloud alert rules and routing for noise and gaps

Audits alert rules against their routing and on-call owners, finds duplicates, orphans and noisy rules, and drafts a change proposal. It applies nothing until you approve each change.

Use it when

A periodic review of alert noise and who gets paged
Rules that page the wrong team or nobody at all
Cleaning up duplicate or unowned alert rules before a reorganisation

Tools it uses

alerting_manage_rules
get_assertions
get_alert_group
alerting_manage_routing
get_current_oncall_users
get_oncall_shift
get_incident

Example

Audit the alert rules in the payments folder on our prod stack: find noisy rules, routing gaps and anything that pages the wrong team. Don't change anything yet.

Reviewed 38 rules in the payments folder. 6 have routing gaps, 3 pairs of rules duplicate each other, and 9 are noise candidates that fired more than 40 times with no action. I've listed each with its evidence and a proposed change. Nothing is applied; tell me which changes to make.

Audit a Grafana Cloud dashboard with AI

Reviews a Grafana Cloud dashboard for panels whose queries do not match their titles, broken datasource references, duplicate and dead panels, and unusable variables. It proposes fixes and makes no changes unless you approve them.

Use it when

A dashboard shows odd numbers and you need to know whether the query or the title is wrong
You inherited a dashboard and want to know whether it can be trusted before relying on it
You are cleaning up a sprawling team dashboard with duplicated and stale panels

Tools it uses

get_dashboard_summary
get_dashboard_by_uid
get_dashboard_panel_queries
get_datasource
describe_infrastructure
describe_clickhouse_table

Example

Audit the 'Checkout service overview' dashboard and tell me which panels are misleading.

I reviewed 38 panels and 6 variables. Three panels are wrong: 'Requests per second' plots a raw counter, not a rate, so it climbs forever. 'p95 latency' averages percentiles across services, which is not a valid p95. One panel points at a datasource that no longer resolves, so it shows no data. I made no changes; say the word and I will draft the fixes.

Check whether a deploy caused a regression in Grafana Cloud

Starts from a deploy annotation, compares errors and slow requests before and after the marker, checks related dashboards and alert state, and returns a verdict with evidence. It asks before writing any annotation.

Use it when

A release just went out and error rates look higher than usual
You want a before and after comparison around a specific deploy
Someone asks whether last night's rollout broke checkout latency

Tools it uses

get_annotations
get_annotation_tags
find_error_pattern_logs
find_slow_requests
get_dashboard_summary
get_dashboard_by_uid
get_dashboard_panel_queries
get_alert_group
describe_infrastructure
create_annotation

Example

Did the 14:20 checkout-service deploy cause the error increase? Compare the hour before and after.

The checkout-service deploy at 14:20 is the likely cause. In the hour before, the payment-timeout pattern appeared 3 times per 1,000 requests; after the marker it rose to 41 per 1,000, and the /api/cart endpoint's slow-request count went from 12 to 58. Two alerts resolved after 15:10, but the first one started before the deploy, so it is unrelated. Confidence is medium: no other deploy overlapped, but the upstream payment provider had a brief incident at 14:35 that I cannot rule out. I have drafted an annotation but have not added it. Shall I add it?

Triage a live incident in Grafana Cloud

Works an active or recent incident end to end: pulls the incident and its alert group, finds the current on-call responder, gathers deploy markers, latency and error signals, and drafts a status and timeline. It asks before adding anything to the incident.

Use it when

An alert is firing and you need to know how bad it is and who owns it
You want to know who is on call for a service right now
You need a timestamped status update for an ongoing outage

Tools it uses

get_incident
get_alert_group
ask_assistant
get_current_oncall_users
get_oncall_shift
get_annotations
get_annotation_tags
find_slow_requests
find_error_pattern_logs
get_dashboard_summary
get_dashboard_panel_queries
describe_infrastructure
describe_clickhouse_table
add_activity_to_incident

Example

Incident INC-2291 is firing for checkout. What is happening, who is on call, and draft a status update.

Stack: prod. Incident INC-2291 is ongoing, severity high, declared 14:05. The checkout service is affected. Primary on call is Priya Shah, with Marco Lee as escalation. A deploy marker at 13:58 precedes the first firing, and 5xx errors show one new error pattern from 14:03. The draft status names Priya as owner; nothing has been added to the incident yet.

How Grafana Cloud skills work

Connect Grafana Cloud
The Grafana Cloud MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Audit the alert rules in the payments folder on our prod stack: find noisy rules, routing gaps and anything that pages the wrong team. Don't change anything yet.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Grafana Cloud skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Grafana Cloud. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Grafana Cloud MCP server connected there.

Grafana Cloud skills FAQ

What is a Grafana Cloud agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Grafana Cloud skill describes one job, which Grafana Cloud tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Grafana Cloud skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Grafana Cloud.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Grafana Cloud; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Grafana Cloud MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Grafana Cloud MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Grafana Cloud MCP setup guide covers every client.
