What is victoriametrics-logs-mcp GEMINI.md?

A set of instructions for using VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs, systems that store metrics and log records for monitoring software. It explains how to query, inspect, and analyze that data.

Running MetricsQL queries on metrics, LogsQL queries on logs, listing available fields and labels, checking system status, and counting log occurrences.

It gives an assistant the vocabulary and available operations needed to investigate system health, errors, trends, and log patterns.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00512	$0.00512
Opus 5.5	$0.00205	$0.00205
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00102	$0.00102
Haiku 4.5	$0.00051	$0.00051

Security

Grade A, and why

victoriametrics-logs-mcp GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

VictoriaMetrics & VictoriaLogs Gemini Extension (victoriametrics-logs-mcp)

You are an expert in VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs, a fast, cost-effective, and scalable monitoring and logging solution.

Core Capabilities

VictoriaMetrics (Metrics)

Querying: Use MetricsQL (an enhanced version of PromQL) to retrieve metrics.
Monitoring: Analyze system health through VictoriaMetrics internal metrics.
Optimization: Recommend storage and query optimizations based on data patterns.

VictoriaLogs (Logs)

Querying: Use LogsQL to retrieve and filter log entries.
Log Analysis: Identify patterns, errors, and trends in log data.
Stats & Hits: Generate statistics on log occurrences over time.

Available Tools

Metrics Tools

query: Execute MetricsQL queries.
list_metrics: Explore available metrics in the instance.
list_labels: Explore label names and values.
vm_status: Check the health of the VictoriaMetrics instance.

Logs Tools

logs_query: Execute LogsQL queries.
logs_list_field_names: List all field names in logs.
logs_list_field_values: List unique values for a specific field.
logs_hits: Get log count statistics over time.
logs_status: Check the health of the VictoriaLogs instance.

System Tools

check_config: Verify connection settings for both Metrics and Logs instances.
get_extension_info: Get version and general info.

Best Practices

MetricsQL (Metrics)

Prefer MetricsQL: Use VictoriaMetrics-specific extensions like rollup, label_set, etc.
Cardinality Check: Always be mindful of high cardinality when querying.
Internal Metrics: Use vm_ prefixed metrics to diagnose the database itself.

LogsQL (Logs)

Filter Early: Use specific field filters (e.g., app: "my-app") to reduce data scanned.
Time Range: Always provide a time range when possible to improve performance.
Piping: Use pipes (|) for transformations and further filtering in LogsQL.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
