Can my agent search for specific dashboards in my Grafana instance?

Yes. Use the 'search_dashboards' tool. You can provide an optional query string to match titles or tags. The agent will return basic info including the unique UID required for deeper inspection.

How do I extract the PromQL or SQL queries from a dashboard panel via chat?

Use the 'get_dashboard' tool with the dashboard UID. Your agent will retrieve the full JSON configuration, including all panels and their underlying data queries, enabling you to review the exact metrics logic natively.

Can I see firing alerts through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_alerts' tool. The agent retrieves all configured alert rules and their current statuses, allowing you to identify which monitors are currently in a firing state synchronousy.
