This page describes AAES Govern’s controls. AAES Operate has private-work permissions, operational reviews and recorded-spend limits; it does not include Govern. About AAES Govern
Before you enable this package
The endpoint host 'grafana-instance.invalid' is a reserved .invalid placeholder that fails closed until you substitute the real host in both the endpoint URLs and the egress allowlist.
Read each action's effects and exclusions below. Before installation, also read the complete package requirements, including credential issuance, scope, expiry, and provider permissions. These are deployment prerequisites, not capabilities this package supplies.
Capabilities (4)
Each capability below is one registered operation. The complete package JSON includes its exact network destination allowlist. The repository stores it at packs/grafana.json and embeds a copy in the release binary.
Risk tiers. R0 is the minimum for reads. R2 is the minimum for write, create, update, execute, and invoke. R3 is the minimum for delete, send, pay, deploy, approve, share, and transfer. Operators can raise these levels. A minimum tier does not measure the operation's business or confidentiality risk.
Field guide. Endpoint is the service address and request method. Connector is the adapter that makes the call. Custody describes how the credential is held; the credential reference identifies the value to resolve. Data class sets handling requirements: pii means personal data, financial means financial records, and internal means internal organizational data.

Read dashboards.
Search dashboards and folders: titles, uids, tags and folder structure visible to the service account, which reveal internal operational topology. The registered path covers the collection read only — single-dashboard reads (GET /api/dashboards/uid/:uid) and dashboard writes are not registered by this pack.

Read data sources.
List configured data sources: names, types and connection URLs, which reveal internal infrastructure. The registered path covers the collection read only — single data-source reads, data source queries (POST /api/ds/query) and data source writes are not registered by this pack.

Read users.
List users in the current organization: logins, emails, org roles and last-seen timestamps, which are personal data. Grafana documents this endpoint as accessible to users with the org admin role — so under basic roles a read-only service account cannot reach it. The granular org.users:read permission depends on Grafana RBAC, which is an Enterprise and Grafana Cloud feature; on editions without it, remove this capability from the deployment's copy rather than grant org admin or imply Viewer suffices.
Where RBAC is available and the deployment deliberately grants org.users:read, a 403 here without that grant is the control working, not a fault. Collection read; there is no record variant registered.
grafana.alerts.read v1.0.0R0
- Kind
- tool
- Action
- read
- Endpoint
GET https://grafana-instance.invalid/api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules- Connector

- Credential ref

- internal
Read alerts.
List all provisioned alert rules: names, conditions, queries and notification routing, which reveal what the deployment watches and who gets paged. The registered path covers the collection read only — single-rule reads (GET /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules/:uid), export and every provisioning write are not registered by this pack.
Credential reference
The credential field names a reference rather than containing credential material. Packs are designed not to contain secrets; the format checks cover only known credential formats and cannot prove that arbitrary text contains no secrets. Installing a package registers its capabilities. Configure the provider credentials, endpoints, and network access, then test the integration in your environment before enabling it.
- Reference
secret-ref-grafana-service-account-token- Custody
- customer_vault
- Injection
- header (Authorization)
Configure the value and injection format specified in the package. Assign responsibility for credential rotation and revocation, restrict provider permissions, and keep credential material out of logs and responses.
Complete credential requirements
A Grafana service account token for the customer's own instance, held in the client's own secret manager. The stored material must be the complete Authorization header value: the scheme 'Bearer', one separating space, then the token — 'Bearer <token>'. Use a dedicated service account with the least-privilege role this read-only pack needs — never a personal user's credentials, and never the legacy admin API key form.
Viewer alone is not sufficient for the complete pack: Grafana documents the org-users endpoint as requiring the org admin role under basic roles, and the alert-provisioning reads as gated by their own RBAC permissions, so the service account needs a fixed role (Grafana RBAC, available in Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud) granting exactly the read permissions for these four operations — dashboards:read, datasources:read, org.users:read and alert.provisioning:read — and nothing broader.
Where RBAC is unavailable, a read-only deployment cannot reach the org-users endpoint at all and must remove grafana.users.read from its copy rather than grant org admin. Grafana's token value is shown once at creation, so capture it into the vault at creation time.
Tokens default to never expiring (the creation API's secondsToLive defaults to 0): set an explicit expiry and rotate — renewal ownership sits with an external deployment process, and the executor injects the stored value verbatim and performs no token lifecycle of its own.
Revocation is deleting the token (DELETE /api/serviceaccounts/:id/tokens/:tokenId), disabling or deleting the service account; do not assume that restricting new token issuance invalidates tokens already issued — delete the issued token itself.
Executor hygiene: the value must live only in executor memory for the lifetime of a call, must never be written to logs, traces or diagnostics, and must not appear in crash dumps; a deployment that cannot meet that bar must not enable the pack.

Technical package and review record
Complete provider requirements and exclusions
The endpoint host 'grafana-instance.invalid' is a reserved non-production placeholder (an RFC 2606 reserved TLD): substitute the customer's own Grafana host — an on-prem instance host or a Grafana Cloud stack host (<stack>.grafana.net) — in the endpoints, the resource locators and the egress allowlist before enabling; the allowlist matches exactly, so all three must be substituted together, substitution is a required deployment step, and allowlisting the reserved host does not make an unsubstituted pack safe (the reserved name is a deliberate fail-closed default: it resolves nowhere by design, so an unsubstituted pack cannot call anything until the installer binds the real host).
Every read endpoint here is a collection read only: single-record reads (GET /api/dashboards/uid/:uid, GET /api/datasources/uid/:uid, GET /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules/:uid) are not registered. Dashboard search (GET /api/search) returns the dashboards and folders the token's service account may see, so the result set itself is authorization-scoped by Grafana. This pack is read-only.
Documented exclusions — this pack does not register: dashboard creation, update or deletion (POST /api/dashboards/db, DELETE /api/dashboards/uid/:uid and the dashboard.grafana.app API group), data source creation, update, deletion or queries (POST /api/ds/query — caller-controlled query text against every configured data source cannot be pinned by a pack, the same rule as the postgres pack's query capabilities, and this pack supplies no reviewed adapter to constrain it), user or team administration, alert rule provisioning writes (POST/PUT/DELETE on /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules — writing alert rules can create or silence the alerts that wake people, an effect-level risk this pack does not register), silences (the Alertmanager silences API — creating a silence suppresses alert notifications and can hide incidents from responders, an effect this pack does not register), service account administration, and the legacy /api/alerts endpoint.

The full documentation review record is supplied in the evaluation package. The evaluation package runs in your environment and comes only with the paid design partnership. This page reproduces the source links and review block; the full record is available for evaluation. Discuss a design partnership to inspect it before installation.
Review block
This section reproduces the review block recorded in the pack file. The evidence and approval record is separate: for a reviewed pack, it is in the evaluation materials and in the release binary's embedded assets.
