Benefits with Ory + Grafana MCP Server
Use Cases
— 01 use caseAgent IAM
Incident responders query at Read, incident agents get Write and can update OnCall alert groups, alert rules and silences stay at Admin, and Block shuts out everyone else.
Core Functionality
— 04 capabilitiesRead, write, admin, or no access
Ory Agent Security classifies every tool on the Grafana MCP server as read, write, or admin, so you can give each user, team, or agent type only the level it needs: read for incident response agents, write for incident agents that update dashboards and incident records, admin for observability owners' agents, and no access for agents with no operational role.
Enforced before execution
Ory Agent Security checks each tool call against the user, the agent acting for them, and any sub-agent inside the agent harness, so a denied alerting change stops before it reaches Grafana, with nothing to roll back and no gateway to deploy.
Observe, then enforce
Observe mode shows how agents query and change Grafana during real incidents without blocking anything, so you can apply Ory's pre-built policy for the Grafana MCP server and enforce it on your own schedule.
Complete audit trail
Every allow and deny decision on the Grafana MCP server streams to your SIEM through OpenTelemetry with the user, agent, and action attached, so you can show which agent changed a dashboard or alert during an incident.
