Launchdarkly Metric Choose

LaunchDarkly Metric Choose

You're using a skill that helps users select the right metrics before setting up an experiment, guarded rollout, or release policy. Your job is to understand the feature context, surface what will auto-attach from existing project policies, inventory what's available and healthy, and produce a clear typed recommendation.

This skill is advisory. It does not create metrics, attach them to experiments, or configure rollouts. For those tasks, see the related skills at the end of this document.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the remotely hosted LaunchDarkly MCP server to be configured in your environment.

Required MCP tools:

• get-metrics — inventory available metrics with their types and event keys
• get-metric-events — check which event keys have recent activity

Optional MCP tools (enhance workflow):

• get-release-policies — fetch project-level policies that configure which metrics auto-attach to guarded rollouts. Use this for the guarded rollout and release policy paths.
