Can I use Prometheus as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Prometheus CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Prometheus through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Prometheus tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Prometheus credentials stored?

Prometheus credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Prometheus MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Prometheus CLI for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The Prometheus CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Prometheus CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure prometheus --set api_token="$PROMETHEUS_API_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call prometheus.prometheus_list_alerts '{"filter":"example_filter","receiver":"example_receiver"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Prometheus docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs prometheus --json
kosmo integrations:docs prometheus.prometheus_list_alerts --json
kosmo integrations:schema prometheus.prometheus_list_alerts --json
kosmo integrations:search "Prometheus" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Prometheus CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`prometheus.prometheus_list_alerts`	Read	filter, receiver	List Prometheus alerts. Optionally filter by alert state or label selectors. Returns alert names, states, labels, and annotations.
`prometheus.prometheus_get_alert`	Read	name	Get a Prometheus alert by name. Returns the full alert definition including labels, annotations, and state.
`prometheus.prometheus_list_rules`	Read	type	List Prometheus alerting and recording rules. Optionally filter by type. Returns rule groups with their rules and states.
`prometheus.prometheus_get_rule`	Read	name	Get a Prometheus rule group by name. Returns the full rule group definition including all rules within the group.
`prometheus.prometheus_list_targets`	Read	state	List Prometheus scrape targets. Optionally filter by state (active or dropped). Returns target health status, labels, and scrape info.
`prometheus.prometheus_get_target`	Read	instance	Get a Prometheus target by its instance address. Returns target health, last scrape info, and discovery labels.
`prometheus.prometheus_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the current authenticated Prometheus user info. Useful for verifying authentication and retrieving user details.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
