# Recording rules

Manage [Coralogix recording rules](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/data-transformation/metric-rules/recording-rules/.md) directly from your AI agent. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a unified tool to create, retrieve, update, and delete recording rule group sets, and to generate infrastructure-as-code definitions from structured group configurations.

## Tool[​](#tool "Direct link to Tool")

Use `manage_recording_rules_groups_set` for all recording rule group set operations.

| `create`              | Create a new recording rule group set.                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `get`                 | Retrieve a specific recording rule group set by ID.                                                                                                                                                       |

| `update`              | Update an existing group set. The agent retrieves the current configuration first, then applies your changes.                                                                                             |

| `generate_terraform`  | Generate Terraform configuration for the [Coralogix Terraform Provider](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/developer-portal/infrastructure-as-code/terraform-provider/coralogix-terraform-provider/.md). |

## Example prompts[​](#example-prompts "Direct link to Example prompts")

### Create a group set[​](#create-a-group-set "Direct link to Create a group set")

```
Create a recording rule group set named service-metrics. Add group

service-latency with interval 120 and rule service:latency:p95 using

expression histogram_quantile(0.95, sum(rate(http_request_duration_seconds_bucket[5m])) by (le, service)).
```

### List group sets[​](#list-group-sets "Direct link to List group sets")

```
List Coralogix recording rule group sets whose name contains "service".
```

### Add a rule[​](#add-a-rule "Direct link to Add a rule")

```
Update recording rule group set service-metrics by adding rule

service:latency:p99 to group service-latency.
```

### Generate Terraform configuration[​](#generate-terraform-configuration "Direct link to Generate Terraform configuration")

```
Generate Terraform configuration for a recording rule group set named service-preview

with 1 group service-errors and 1 rule service:errors:rate5m using

expression sum(rate(http_requests_total{status=~"5.."}[5m])) by (service).

Do not create it.
```

## Important behaviors[​](#important-behaviors "Direct link to Important behaviors")

* **Structured groups only.** The tool rejects Terraform-only `yamlContent` input because OpenAPI, Kubernetes, and Terraform output do not share it.
* **Update requires retrieval first.** Retrieve the current group set, modify it, then update with the complete group set definition.
* **Each group needs rules.** The tool rejects empty groups and rules without `record` and `expression`.
