Datadog for AI agents

Datadog unifies metrics, logs, and traces for cloud applications, helping engineering teams monitor systems and get alerted before small issues become outages. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Datadog.

01

Check a monitor's current status before deciding whether an alert needs attention.

02

Create a new dashboard

Create a new dashboard to track a set of metrics for a service.

03

Confirm before deleting a monitor

Confirm before deleting a monitor, since alerts tied to it stop firing immediately.

02 · ACTIONS

65 Datadog actions, graded by risk.

Every Datadog action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Datadog in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect DatadogThey sign in to Datadog on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create SLO” can wait for the user, and “delete monitor” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls Datadog through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('datadog', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_slo
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_monitor
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Datadog connects.

Users sign in to Datadog on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Datadog OAuth app, or bring your own so the Datadog consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Datadog connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Datadog and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Datadog with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Datadog to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Datadog actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Datadog?

Users sign in to Datadog on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Datadog OAuth app, or bring your own so the Datadog consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

Q03

Which Datadog actions can my agent take?

65 in total: 37 read, 22 write and 6 destructive, such as “create SLO”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Datadog?

Yes. Actions like “delete monitor” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Datadog too?

Yes. The same Datadog connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
