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.

Security

Grade A, and why

signoz-modifying-dashboards 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 360 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dashboard Modify

Prerequisites

This skill calls SigNoz MCP server tools (signoz_get_dashboard, signoz_patch_dashboard, signoz_update_dashboard, signoz_list_dashboards, signoz_list_metrics, signoz_get_field_keys, signoz_get_field_values, signoz_execute_builder_query). Before running the workflow, confirm the signoz_* tools are available. If they are not, the SigNoz MCP server is not installed or configured; run signoz-mcp-setup first to initialize or repair the MCP connection. Do not fall back to raw HTTP calls or hand-edit dashboard JSON without the MCP tools.

When to use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • Add, remove, or edit panels/widgets on an existing dashboard
  • Change a panel's query, title, type, or display settings
  • Add, remove, or edit dashboard variables
  • Rename or re-describe a dashboard
  • Rearrange panel layout or resize panels
  • Change a panel type (e.g., graph to table, value to graph)
  • Add or modify thresholds on a panel
  • Update tags on a dashboard

Do NOT use when:

  • User wants to understand what a dashboard shows → signoz-explaining-dashboards
  • User wants to create a new dashboard → signoz-creating-dashboards

Instructions

Step 1: Identify the target dashboard

Use an id supplied directly or by dashboard resource context. A name is not an ID: resolve every name-only request with signoz_list_dashboards, narrowing with the filter argument (see signoz://dashboard/list-filter-guide) and paging by offset until you have covered total. Match on spec.display.name. If multiple dashboards match, present them and ask which one to modify; if one matches, use its id.

Step 2: Fetch the current dashboard state

Call signoz_get_dashboard with the dashboard id to retrieve its full configuration. This is mandatory: signoz_update_dashboard requires the complete post-update state, and a patch still needs the real panel ids and grid item indices. Never skip this step.

Examine the response to understand:

  • Current panels and their ids (spec.panels is a map keyed by panel id)
  • Current grid item positions (x, y, width, height in the 12-column grid)
  • Current variables
  • Current query on each panel (exactly one per panel)
  • The spec.layouts structure: one Grid per section, each with its own items

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
