Total Cost Optimization trace policies

Manage Coralogix Total Cost Optimization (TCO) Optimizer trace policies directly from your AI agent. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a unified tool to create, retrieve, update, and delete trace policies, and to generate infrastructure-as-code definitions.

Tool

Use manage_tco_trace_policies for all trace policy operations.

Action value	Description
create	Create a trace policy.
get	Retrieve a specific trace policy by ID.
list	List trace policies with an optional case-insensitive name filter.
update	Update an existing policy.
delete	Delete a trace policy by ID.
generate_openapi	Generate the OpenAPI JSON payload for an atomic overwrite request.
generate_kubernetes	Generate a Kubernetes Operator YAML manifest for the full trace policy list.
generate_terraform	Generate Terraform configuration for the full trace policy list.

Example prompts

Create a trace policy

Create a Total Cost Optimization trace policy named checkout-traces-low.
Enable it, set priority low, match applications that start with mcp-beta,
match subsystems that include backend, match action exactly GET /checkout,
exclude service internal, and add tag rule tags.http.method includes GET.

Export 1 policy

Generate Terraform configuration for the Total Cost Optimization trace policy named
checkout-traces-low. Do not apply it.

Export the full policy list

Generate Terraform configuration and Kubernetes YAML for the full current Total Cost
Optimization trace policy list. This is inspect-only; do not apply the output.

Important behaviors

• Generated Terraform and Kubernetes are atomic overwrite resources. Applying generated output replaces the complete backend trace policy set.
• Prefer full-list generation. The tool allows single-policy generation, but returns a warning because the generated resource represents the full list.
• Trace tag rules must be valid. The tool rejects duplicate tag names, blank tag names, and missing rule types.
• Archive retention output needs a resolvable retention name. Provide it when generating Kubernetes YAML for archive-retention policies.
