AI agents are only as useful as the context they can access.
With gcx, your coding agents can connect to Grafana and query real-time production telemetry from your Cloud, Enterprise, or OSS environment.
The best part: it avoids the upfront context bloat that can come with loading tools before you even send a prompt.
gcx uses a CLI approach, so there’s zero token cost until your agent actually needs to run a query.
For teams using agents to investigate production issues, that means more useful context, less noise, and a clearer path from “something’s broken” to “here’s what’s happening.”
