Grafana
Connects to Grafana instances (self-hosted or Cloud) via service account tokens and exposes dashboards, datasources, and query execution. You get CRUD operations on dashboards with JSONPath support for targeted updates, plus native querying against Prometheus, Loki, ClickHouse, CloudWatch, Athena, Snowflake, InfluxDB, and Graphite datasources. Most query tools are opt-in via flags to keep the surface area manageable. The run panel query feature lets you execute dashboard panel queries with custom time ranges and variable overrides. Useful when you want to pull observability data or modify dashboards programmatically without switching contexts to the Grafana UI. Requires Grafana 9.0 or later for full API support.
