Blast radius
This MCP is classified read-only, and most of its tools only read data. Note that it does expose tools that write back to the connected service: mute_monitor, create_incident.
Review these against your own change-management policy before installing, and use Policies to gate them if agents should not perform those actions unattended.
Every tool invocation is recorded in your Audit Log. You can remove this MCP at any time from Settings → MCPs, which revokes tool access immediately.
