Watch out for

• Write tools are on by default

  Unless you turn on read-only mode, the assistant can create and update dashboards, alert rules, incidents and annotations, and delete alert rules. Start with read-only and add write access later. github.com

• SQL tools run any statement the database allows

  A DROP TABLE or DELETE runs if the datasource login permits it. Read-only mode removes these tools; on the hosted server, clear Query as well as Write. github.com

• Network modes need a caller token

  The Docker image listens on all network addresses in SSE or streamable-http mode. Set a server token so callers must send it. github.com

• The Editor role gives more access than needed

  Grafana's docs offer Editor as the easy choice for the service account. Use Viewer, or the per-tool permissions in the README, unless you need write tools. github.com

• Usage stats go to Grafana Labs by default

  Tool names, failure counts and flag names are sent; queries and credentials are not. Set DO_NOT_TRACK=1 to stop it. github.com

• The hosted server acts as you

  It uses your own Grafana permissions. You can revoke a connection under Settings, Connectors, MCP clients. grafana.com
