Permissions

To query data through the MCP server, the user’s role must include the relevant permissions. For details about configuring roles and permissions, see Roles and Permissions.

Permission	Resource	Action	Description
Query Monitoring & Compliance logs	logs.data-api#low	ReadData	Read compliance and monitoring logs
Query metrics	metrics.data-api#high	ReadData	Read metrics
Query Monitoring & Compliance spans	spans.data-api#low	ReadData	Read compliance and monitoring traces

The MCP server inherits the permissions associated with the user’s personal API key.

Management tool permissions

The unified manage_* tools call the same underlying APIs as the Coralogix UI, so the user’s role must include the read and write permissions for each resource type they want to manage. Without read permissions the tool can’t get, list, or update; without write permissions it can’t create, update, or delete.

Resource	Tool	Required permissions
Alerts	manage_alerts	alerts:ReadConfig, alerts:UpdateConfig
Alert suppression rules	manage_alerts_scheduler	Alert read and write permissions
Outbound webhooks	manage_webhooks	Outbound webhook read and write permissions
Parsing rules	manage_parsing_rules	PARSING-RULES:READCONFIG, PARSING-RULES:UPDATECONFIG
