Zero code, zero context switching.
What you can do
- Security Signal Search — Execute ingestion searches returning critical threats detected by Datadog SIEM, CSPM, and CWS matching MITRE ATT&CK vectors
- Signal Triaging — Update the state of active threat alerts, transitioning signals from open to archived with audited false-positive justifications
- Detection Rule Management — List and retrieve exact logic for security rules identifying AWS CloudTrail deviations or Kubernetes root escalations
- Rule Orchestration — Construct new Cloud SIEM Log Detection rules by pushing raw name/message fields and specific Lucene query bindings
- Threat Hunting — Directly query raw Datadog logs with a 10s lookbehind to capture highly localized context matching malicious source IPs
- Security Filter Auditing — Retrieve global exclusion policies mapping to SIEM log pipelines to verify which low-value vectors are blocked

Datadog Cloud SIEM MCP Tools for Claude Desktop (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Datadog Cloud SIEM to Claude Desktop via MCP:
create_detection_rule
Accepts raw name/message fields, specific Lucene query bindings filtering for malicious activity, and severity levels (info, low, medium, high, critical). Auto-activates upon creation. Construct a new Cloud SIEM Log Detection Rule
delete_detection_rule
Irreversible action. Pre-packaged rules provided by Datadog typically cannot be outright deleted (only disabled), making this primarily for user-created custom JSON rules. Permanently delete a Datadog Security Detection Rule
get_detection_rule
g. > 5 occurrences in 5 mins), severity bindings, tagging matrices, and Notification routing hooks tying into PagerDuty or Slack. Retrieve the exact logic/queries for a specific Detection Rule
get_raw_log_context
Use this immediately after verifying an attacker footprint. Additional threat hunt tool extracting exact log bounds (100 msgs)
list_detection_rules
Verifies the existence of proactive detections identifying AWS CloudTrail deviations, GCP anomalous IAM usage, and Kubernetes root escalations. List configured Datadog Security Detection Rules
list_security_filters
These filters inherently block high-volume, low-value logging vectors from ever reaching the SIEM evaluation engine in order to preserve compute budgets. List Security Filter configurations
search_raw_logs
Essential for rapid Threat Hunting before detection rules alert. Useful for extracting contextual VPC Flow Logs or application stack traces related to an active breach. Directly query raw Datadog Logs over the past 15/m for Threat Hunting
search_signals
Use lucene-based queries like "status:critical OR @usr.id:admin" to filter high severity indicators mapping to MITRE ATT&CK vectors. Search Cloud SIEM Security Signals (Alerts) over the last 24h
security_system_ping
Test API authentication validity against the Security Module
triage_signal
Transition signals directly from "open" to "archived", or from "archived" back to "open". If archiving, an official reason (e.g. "false_positive" or "testing_or_maintenance") must be assigned. Modify the state of a Datadog SIEM Security Signal
Example Prompts for Datadog Cloud SIEM in Claude Desktop
