MCP tool reference

The remote MCP server exposes only the tools allowed by the connected key. Let the MCP client discover the current tool definitions instead of copying a fixed catalog into prompts.

Read tool families

Read-only agents can work with:

• customers, aliases, profiles, accounts, and timelines;
• Issues and affected customers;
• logs, traces, metrics, services, and anomalies;
• replay and related evidence;
• alerts and incidents;
• releases, events, flags, and dashboards; and
• agent runs, scores, model calls, and LLM cost.

Entity results include dashboard links when there is a specific object to inspect.

Write tools

A write-enabled key can perform selected daily actions directly and discover less common actions through the write gateway. Each action requires mcp:write and its own domain scope.

Destructive actions return a preview and confirmation token before they apply. Non-destructive writes still produce an audit record and are subject to per-key budgets.

Discover the current surface

Use your MCP client’s tool inspector, ask the agent to list its Teml tools, or run:

teml mcp verify
teml docs

Tool definitions include their arguments and descriptions. If a tool is absent, check the key’s scopes before assuming the server does not support the operation.
