134 tools from Vantage MCP.
Add-team-memberAdd a user to a Team by email address and assign their Team role.
Create-annotationCreate an Annotation on one or more Cost Reports for a specific date. Use this tool when a user asks to add a note, explanation, or event marker to Cost Reports.
Create-billing-ruleCreates a new Billing Rule. Billing rules allow you to adjust, exclude, credit, charge, or apply custom modifications to your cost data.
The required fields depend on the rule type:
- Exclusion rules require charge_type.
- Adjustment rules require percentage. Optionally accepts service and category to scope the adjustment.
- Charge and Credit rules require service, category, sub_category, amount, and start_date.
- Custom rules require sql_query.
Create-budgetCreates a budget based on the parameters specified. This is useful if you have been tasked with managing budgets
or you are building a cost report with budgets in mind.
Create-budget-alertCreate a Budget Alert that notifies users or connected channels when one or more Budgets reach a percentage threshold during a monthly time window.
Create-canvasCreates a Canvas based on the parameters specified. A Canvas is an AI-generated cost analysis view created from a natural language prompt.
The prompt describes what cost data to analyze (e.g. "Show me monthly costs by provider"). Creating a canvas triggers an asynchronous refresh to generate the data.
Create-cost-alertCreate a new Cost Alert in Vantage. Cost Alerts are threshold-based spending alerts for one or more Cost Reports.
Use this tool when a user asks to create, add, or set up a cost alert, spending alert, budget alert, threshold alert, or spend-limit notification.
Do not use this for Report Notifications, scheduled report summaries, or recurring Cost Report delivery.
Create-cost-reportCreate a new Cost Report in Vantage.
Cost Reports are saved queries that can be used to track and analyze spending over time. They can be filtered using VQL (Vantage Query Language) and configured with various display options.
VQL Filtering Guide:
All costs originate from a Cost Provider (generally a cloud company like AWS, Azure, Datadog) and then filter on a service that they provide (like EC2, S3, etc).
A cost provider is required on every VQL query.
VQL is always in parenthesis. Always use single quotes around names that are being queried.
Basic VQL Syntax:
- Query on a cost provider: (costs.provider = '<provider name>')
- Query on a service: (costs.provider = '<provider name>' AND costs.service = '<service name>')
- Multiple providers: ((costs.provider = 'aws') OR (costs.provider = 'azure'))
- Multiple services: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.service IN ('AWSQueueService', 'AWSLambda'))
- Filter by region: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.region = 'us-east-1')
- Filter by account: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.account_id = '1000000717')
Tag Filtering:
- Tag with specific value: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND tags.value = 'production')
- Any value of a tag: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment')
- Resources without a tag: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = NULL)
- Multiple tag values: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND (tags.value = 'dev' OR tags.value = 'staging'))
Use get-myself to find available workspaces and list-cost-providers/list-cost-services to find valid provider and service names for your VQL queries.
Create-dashboardCreate a new Dashboard in Vantage.
Dashboards are collections of widgets that visualize cost data. You can optionally attach widgets (by
their widgetable_token) and saved filters, and you can control the time range using either:
- date_interval (recommended), or
- start_date + end_date (custom range)
Note: start_date/end_date are incompatible with date_interval.
The list of supported widgets is:
- cost reports
- usage reports
- resource reports
- kubernetes efficiency reports
- financial commitment reports
- recommendation saved views
The token returned in the response can be used to link to the Dashboard in the Vantage Web UI:
https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>
Create-financial-commitment-reportCreate a new Financial Commitment Report in Vantage.
Financial Commitment Reports track committed spend and on-demand costs over time. They can be filtered
using VQL and grouped by dimensions such as commitment type, service, region, or tags.
VQL Filtering Guide:
Financial Commitment Report VQL uses the financial_commitments namespace. A provider filter should be
included in each query, and string values should be wrapped in single quotes.
Basic VQL Syntax:
- Query on a provider: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws')
- Query on a service: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.service = 'AmazonEC2')
- Multiple services: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.service IN ('AmazonEC2','AmazonRDS'))
- Filter by billing account: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.provider_account_id = '123456789012')
- Filter by region: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.region = 'us-east-1')
- Filter by tag: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.resource_tags->>'environment' = 'production')
Use get-myself to find available workspaces. Use the VQL for Financial Commitment Reports resource for
the full list of available financial_commitments fields and examples.
Create-folderCreate a folder for organizing Cost Reports or Resource Reports. Set type to CostFolder for Cost Reports or ProviderResourceFolder for Resource Reports.
Create-network-flow-reportCreates a saved Network Flow Report for analyzing cloud network traffic by cost or bytes.
Create-recommendation-viewCreate a new Recommendation View in Vantage.
Recommendation Views are saved filters for recommendations. They can be scoped by provider,
billing account, cloud account, region, recommendation type, tags, creation date, and minimum
potential savings.
Use get-myself to find available workspaces. Use list-recommendations to discover valid provider
IDs, recommendation types, accounts, regions, tags, and savings ranges before creating a view.
Filter examples:
- AWS recommendations in production: provider_ids ["aws"], tag_key "environment", tag_value "production"
- High-savings recommendations: min_savings 100
- Recommendations created in a date range: start_date "2024-01-01", end_date "2024-06-30"
Create-report-forecastCreate a scenario-model ReportForecast for a Cost Report.
Provide at least one of scenario_model_tokens or business_metric_token. Use list-scenario-models and list-business-metrics to discover tokens.
Requires Scenario Models (Enterprise). A 403 means the account is not entitled or the caller cannot update the Cost Report.
Create-report-notificationCreate a new Report Notification in Vantage.
Report Notifications send scheduled Cost Report summaries to configured users, Slack channels, or Microsoft Teams channels on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. Use this tool when a user asks to create, add, or set up scheduled report delivery for an existing Cost Report.
Do not use this for Cost Alerts, budget alerts, threshold alerts, or spend-limit notifications. Cost Alerts notify users when spend crosses a configured threshold; Report Notifications deliver scheduled report summaries.
Create-resource-reportCreate a saved Resource Report in Vantage. Resource Reports persist a VQL filter over cloud infrastructure resources so the view can be reopened, shared, added to dashboards, and queried later with list-provider-resources via resource_report_token. Returns the report token; link users to https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>.
Resource Report VQL uses the resources and tags namespaces — not Cost Report costs VQL (create-cost-report). Use list-provider-resources for one-off resource queries without saving a report; use list-resource-reports to browse existing reports.
Create-scenario-modelCreate a ScenarioModel with optional periods and provider/service filters.
Assign created ScenarioModels to Cost Report forecasts with create-report-forecast or update-report-forecast.
Requires Scenario Models (Enterprise). A 403 means the account is not entitled or the caller cannot create models.
Create-teamCreate a Team and optionally associate it with Workspaces, users, and a default Dashboard.
Create-virtual-tag-configCreates a new Virtual Tag (Virtual Tag Config) in Vantage.
Do not use this to edit an existing Virtual Tag Config; use update-virtual-tag-config for config settings or value order, and the Virtual Tag Config Value tools for individual values.
Virtual Tag Configs define a derived (virtual) tag key and a set of values determined by VQL filters.
This is useful for normalizing cost attribution (e.g., mapping multiple provider tag formats into a
single tag), collapsing noisy tag keys, and optionally overriding provider-supplied tags.
You can optionally:
- backfill_until: backfill the virtual tag values to an earliest month
- collapsed_tag_keys: collapse values for specific underlying tag keys (optionally scoped by provider)
- values: define named values via VQL filters, optionally linked to Business Metrics and/or cost metrics
Create-virtual-tag-config-valueAdds a new mapping/value to an existing Virtual Tag Config without replacing its other values. Use this to append a mapping while editing a Virtual Tag; new values are added after existing values.
Create-workspaceCreate a new Workspace in Vantage. Workspaces are isolated environments for organizing cost data and access control across teams.

- For unused resources: shows usage patterns, last activity, and safe termination recommendations
- For storage optimization: shows current vs. recommended volume types, IOPS usage, throughput patterns
- For Reserved Instance recommendations: shows usage patterns, recommended commitment levels
This is the most granular level of recommendation data available and is essential for making informed decisions about implementing specific optimizations.
You must have both the recommendation token (from list-recommendations) and the resource token (from get-recommendation-resources) to use this tool.
Get-recommendation-resourcesGet a paginated list of all infrastructure resources affected by a specific cost optimization recommendation.
This tool returns the actual cloud resources (instances, volumes, load balancers, etc.) that are involved in a recommendation. Each resource entry includes:
- Resource token (unique identifier for the specific resource)
- Resource type (e.g., EC2 instance, EBS volume, RDS instance)
- Resource identifier (instance ID, volume ID, etc.)

List-billing-rulesList all billing rules available in the Vantage account. Billing rules allow you to adjust, exclude, or add charges to your cost data.
Use the page value of 1 to start.
List-budget-alertsList Budget Alerts in Vantage. Budget Alerts notify users or connected channels when one or more Budgets reach a percentage threshold during a monthly time window.
List-budgetsList all budgets available in the Vantage account. Budgets help track spending against predefined limits.
Use the page value of 1 to start.
A budget is built against a Cost Report. The Budget objects returned by this tool will have a "cost_report_token" field that contains the token of the Cost Report. The Cost Report has the "filter" field to know what is the range of providers & services that the budget is tracking.
When a user is looking at a Cost Report for a specific date range, they can decide if the providers and services spend is higher than desired by looking at the budgets for that report and the date range of the budget.
The token of a budget can be used to link the user to the budget in the Vantage Web UI. Build the link like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<BudgetToken>
List-business-metric-labelsList distinct label values for a BusinessMetric. For multi-label metrics, values are flattened across label keys.
Use this before get-business-metric-values when a label-dependent request does not provide confirmed exact label values.
This endpoint is paginated. If the user needs the complete set of labels, keep calling this tool with pagination.nextPage until pagination.hasNextPage is false.
List-business-metricsList all BusinessMetrics available to the current Vantage API token.
Use page 1 when calling this tool for the first time. If the user asks for all BusinessMetrics or needs to search across the full set, keep calling this tool with pagination.nextPage until pagination.hasNextPage is false.
BusinessMetrics represent business KPIs, such as requests, users, or revenue, that can be attached to Cost Reports for per-unit cost analysis.
The token of a BusinessMetric can be used with get-business-metric, list-business-metric-labels, get-business-metric-values, and get-business-metric-forecasted-values.
List-canvasesList all saved Canvases available in the Vantage account. Canvases are AI-generated cost analysis views created from natural language prompts.
Use the page value of 1 to start.
The token of a canvas can be used to link the user to the canvas in the Vantage Web UI. Build the link like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<CanvasToken>
List-cost-alert-eventsList events for a Cost Alert. Events are individual alert trigger records and can be filtered by Cost Report token.
List-cost-alertsList Cost Alerts available in the Vantage account. Cost Alerts are threshold-based spending alerts for Cost Reports.
Use this tool when a user asks to list, show, view, or find cost alerts, spending alerts, budget alerts, threshold alerts, or spend-limit notifications.
Do not use this for Report Notifications, scheduled report summaries, or recurring Cost Report delivery.
List-cost-integrationsList all cost provider integrations available to provide costs data from and their associated accounts.
Integrations are the cost providers that Vantage is configured to connect to and pull cost data from.
If a user wants to see their providers in the Vantage Web UI, they can visit https://console.vantage.sh/settings/integrations
Note that when 'provider' is 'custom_provider', that has a special case. When doing a VQL query for custom provider, use the 'token' you get back. Here is an example, where the token of the custom provider is "accss_crdntl_07171984":
(costs.provider = 'custom_provider:accss_crdntl_07171984')
List-cost-providersList of cost providers available to query for a given Workspace. Can be used to filter costs down to a specific provider in VQL queries.
List-cost-reportsList all cost reports available. Cost reports are already created reports authored by a user in Vantage. If the user isn't asking about a specific report, it's better to use the query-costs tool.
When you first call this function, use the "Page" parameter of 1.
The 'Title' of a report is a good way to know what the report is about.
The 'filter' of a report also gives clues to the data it provides.
The 'token' of a report is a unique identifier for the report. It can be used to generate a link to the report in the Vantage Web UI. If a user wants to see a report, you can link them like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>
Vantage offers data related to a cost report: Forecasts. The same report token can be used on the get-cost-report-forecast tool and Vantage will forecast future costs.
List-costsList the cost items inside a report. The Token of a Report must be provided. Use the page value of 1 to start.
The report token can be used to link the user to the report in the Vantage Web UI. Build the link like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<CostReportToken>
The DateBin parameter controls the time granularity of returned results.
When DateBin=day you get a record for each service spend on that day. For DateBin=week you get one entry per week,
with the accrued_at field set to the first day of the week, but the spend item represents spend for a full week.
Same with DateBin=month, each record returned covers a month of data. This lets you get answers with processing fewer
records. If omitted, the API uses the cost report's configured date bin, or day if the report has no override.
Cost settings (credits, refunds, discounts, tax, amortization, etc.) default to the report's own settings.
Only provide these parameters if you need to override the report's defaults.
Use settings_aggregate_by to choose the metric: cost (default), usage, or count.
When aggregate_by is count, the response includes total_count and counts (date-binned distinct Group By permutation counts for the full requested period). Count is not supported for segment reports.
List-cost-servicesList cost service display names for a workspace. These names may NOT match VQL costs.service identifiers used in query-costs filters.
Do not copy names from this tool directly into VQL. Use vql_info or costs.service values from a broad query-costs probe instead.
List-dashboardsList all dashboards available in the Vantage account. Dashboards provide visualizations of cost data.
Use the page value of 1 to start.
The token of a dashboard can be used to link the user to the dashboard in the Vantage Web UI. Build the link like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>
List-financial-commitment-reportsList all financial commitment reports available in the Vantage account.
Use the page value of 1 to start.
List-foldersList folders for Cost Reports or Resource Reports, optionally filtering by title, Workspace, or folder type. Use CostFolder for Cost Report folders and ProviderResourceFolder for Resource Report folders; folder tokens link to https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>.
List-network-flow-reportsLists saved Network Flow Reports. Use get-network-flow-report for a report's configuration.
List-provider-resourcesList infrastructure provider resources (instances, volumes, load balancers, etc.) from your cloud accounts.
Resources can be fetched either from a specific Resource Report or by using VQL filters.
When using a resource_report_token, you get the pre-filtered resources from that report.
When using VQL filters with workspace_token, you can dynamically query resources across your infrastructure.
Provide either resource_report_token or filter (not both). When using filter, workspace_token is required.
VQL for Resource Reports enables filtering using two primary namespaces:
**Resources Namespace** - Access infrastructure attributes:
- resources.provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
- resources.region (geographic location codes)
- resources.account_id and resources.provider_account_id
- resources.type (resource classification)
- resources.label and resources.uuid (identifiers)
- resources.metadata (detailed resource properties using ->> operator, e.g., resources.metadata->>'architecture')
**Tags Namespace** - Tag-based filtering:
- tags.name (tag key)
- tags.value (tag content)
VQL supports standard logical operators (AND, OR) and specialized functions:
- Pattern Matching: LIKE and NOT LIKE for substring searches
- Comparisons: IN/NOT IN for list evaluation; !=, <, >, <=, >= for values
- Metadata Queries: >> operator for resource metadata (e.g., resources.metadata->>'architecture')

Example VQL queries:
- Multi-provider: (resources.provider IN ('aws', 'gcp'))
- Regional: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND resources.region = 'us-east-1')
- Resource type: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND resources.type = 'aws_instance')
- Metadata: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND resources.metadata->>'architecture' = 'x86_64')
- Tags: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND tags.value = 'production')
- Untagged resources: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = NULL)
Set include_cost to true to get cost breakdowns by category for each resource.
Use the page parameter starting with 1 for pagination.
Resources include metadata specific to their type (EC2 instances show instance type, EBS volumes show size, etc.).
Each resource has a unique token that can be used to get more details or link to the Vantage Web UI.
List-recommendationsList all cost optimization recommendations available in the Vantage account. Recommendations are AI-powered suggestions that help identify opportunities to reduce costs and optimize cloud spending across your infrastructure.
Use the page value of 1 to start pagination.
Recommendations include various types such as:
- EC2 rightsizing (resize overprovisioned instances)
- Unused financial commitments (unused Reserved Instances or Savings Plans)
- Idle resources (running but unused instances, volumes, load balancers)
- Storage optimization (EBS volume type recommendations)
- Reserved Instance and Savings Plan purchase recommendations
Each recommendation includes:
- Potential cost savings amount
- Description of what can be optimized
- Provider and service information
- Number of resources affected
- Current status (open, resolved, dismissed)
Recommendations can be filtered by:
- Status (open shows active recommendations, resolved shows implemented ones, dismissed shows ignored ones)
- Cloud provider via provider (single) or provider_ids (multiple; requires workspace_token) — only use these when the user explicitly specifies cloud providers; do not infer or default to all providers
- Specific workspace via workspace_token
- Provider account ID via provider_account_id (single) or account_ids (multiple; requires workspace_token)
- Billing account via billing_account_ids (requires workspace_token)
- Region via regions (requires workspace_token)
- Tag key/value pair via tag_key + tag_value (both required together; requires workspace_token) — use this when users ask about recommendations for a specific virtual tag, e.g. "recommendations for department=engineering"
- Date range via start_date + end_date in YYYY-MM-DD format (both required together; requires workspace_token)
- Minimum monthly potential savings via min_savings
- Recommendation type via type (case-insensitive fuzzy matching; e.g. "AWS recommendations" -> type=aws; "EC2 rightsizing" -> type=aws:ec2:rightsizing)
The token of each recommendation can be used with other recommendation tools to get detailed information and see specific resources affected.
For users to view and manage recommendations in the Vantage Web UI, they can visit https://console.vantage.sh/recommendations
List-recommendation-viewsList all recommendation views available in the Vantage account. Recommendation views are saved filters for cost optimization recommendations.
Use the page value of 1 to start.
The title of a recommendation view is a good way to understand what optimization scope it represents.
The token of a recommendation view is its unique identifier and can be used to link the user to the view in the Vantage Web UI. Build the link like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>
The workspace token, date range, providers, accounts, regions, and tag fields provide additional context about which recommendations are included in the view.
List-report-forecastsList scenario-model ReportForecasts for a Cost Report.
ReportForecasts assign ScenarioModels (and optionally a BusinessMetric) to a Cost Report for planning views.
Use page 1 when calling this tool for the first time. Keep calling with pagination.nextPage until pagination.hasNextPage is false when listing all forecasts.
The token of a ReportForecast can be used with get-report-forecast, update-report-forecast, and delete-report-forecast.
Requires Scenario Models (Enterprise). A 403 means the account is not entitled.
List-report-notificationsList Report Notifications available in the Vantage account. Report Notifications are scheduled deliveries of Cost Report summaries to users, Slack channels, or Microsoft Teams channels.
Use this tool when a user asks to list, show, view, or find scheduled report notifications or recurring Cost Report summaries. Use the page value of 1 to start.
Do not use this for Cost Alerts, budget alerts, threshold alerts, or spend-limit notifications. Cost Alerts are threshold-based spending alerts; Report Notifications are scheduled report deliveries.
List-resource-report-columnsList available columns for a resource type. The resource_type is a required parameter, and must be a valid VQL resource type name.
List-resource-reportsList all resource reports available. Resource reports are already created reports authored by a user in Vantage.
When you first call this function, use the "Page" parameter of 1.
The 'Title' of a report is a good way to know what the report is about.
The 'filter' of a report also gives clues to the data it provides.
The 'token' of a report is a unique identifier for the report. It can be used to generate a link to the report in the Vantage Web UI.
If a user wants to see a report, you can link them like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>
List-scenario-modelsList ScenarioModels available to the current Vantage API token.
ScenarioModels define future-cost adjustments (dollar or percent) that can be assigned to Cost Report forecasts via report-forecast tools.
Use page 1 when calling this tool for the first time. If the user asks for all ScenarioModels, keep calling with pagination.nextPage until pagination.hasNextPage is false.
The token of a ScenarioModel can be used with get-scenario-model, update-scenario-model, delete-scenario-model, and create-report-forecast / update-report-forecast.
Requires Scenario Models (Enterprise). A 403 means the account is not entitled.
List-tagsList tags that can be used to filter costs and cost reports.
Tags are associated with one or more Cost Providers.
Tags can be edited in the Vantage Web UI, or have further details displayed there. Link a user to the tag page like this: https://console.vantage.sh/settings/tags?search_query=<tag>
Requires integration settings permission; callers without it receive 403 from the API.
Each tag in the response uses the field `tag_key` (not `key`).
List-tag-valuesList values for a tag key. The argument is `key` (the tag key name); the API response fields use `tag_value`.
Requires integration settings permission; callers without it receive 403 from the API.
List-unit-costsRetrieve the unit costs for a given CostReport, with optional paging, date filters, and ordering.
List-virtual-tag-configsLists or searches the Virtual Tags (Virtual Tag Configs) the current API token can access, including every mapping/value. Use this to discover config and value tokens or find a tag by key.
List-workspacesList all Workspaces available to the authenticated API token. Workspaces are isolated environments within Vantage for organizing cost data and access control across teams.
Use get-myself to see the user's default workspace. Use get-workspace to retrieve details for a specific workspace.
Query-costsQuery for costs in a Vantage Account. These are independent of a cost reports.
Use Vantage VQL to structure a query.
Queries must be scoped to a Workspace. Use the get-myself tool to know about available workspaces, and the get-cost-integrations tool to know about available cost providers. If the user didn't tell you a workspace it is best to ask them than to guess it.
It's best to set a date range of 30 days unless the user specifically wants to query for a longer time period.
When a user asks for data from an account, use the "get-cost-provider-accounts" tool to match a name to an account. With that result, always use the account_id in the account_id parameter for this tool.
Here is some more detailed info on using VQL:
All costs originate from a Cost Provider (generally a cloud company like AWS, Azure, Datadog) and then filter on a service that they provide (like EC2, S3, etc).
A cost provider is required on every VQL query.
VQL is always in parenthesis. Always use single quotes around names that are being queried.
To query on a cost provider, use this syntax: (costs.provider = '<provider name>'). The provider name must come from the list-cost-providers tool.
To query on a cost service, use this syntax: (costs.provider = '<provider name>' AND costs.service = '<service name>').
For AWS, costs.service must be a CUR identifier (e.g. 'AmazonEC2', 'AmazonVPC', 'AWSDirectConnect'). Use vql_info to resolve aliases — not display names from list-cost-services.
If a query returns no rows, run one broad probe query first (provider only, date_bin=month, wide date range) to learn available months and service identifiers before retrying with a narrower filter.
For month-over-month comparisons, span both months in start_date/end_date with date_bin=month and settings_show_previous_period=true instead of separate queries per month.
Prefer one query-costs call with all needed groupings (e.g. service, account_id, tag:<key>) over multiple calls that only change groupings.
You can only filter against one cost provider at a time. If you want to query for costs from two providers, you need to use the OR operator. Example: ((costs.provider = 'aws') OR (costs.provider = 'azure'))
You can otherwise use the IN system to compare against a list of items, like this: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.service IN ('AWSQueueService', 'AWSLambda'))
To filter within a cost provider, keep the cost provider part and add a AND section, example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.service = 'AmazonRDS')
Many costs have tags on them. A tag is a "name" and one or more values.
To find an AWS cost that has a tag of "environment" the value "production", use this syntax: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND tags.value = 'production')
You can also query for any value of the "environment" tag, like this: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment')
Items without a tag can also be filtered, example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = NULL)
Parenthesis can be nested. Here we surround an OR clause to look for either of two values for a tag: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND (tags.value = 'dev' OR tags.value = 'staging'))
A user can have more than one provider account. They can filter on provider accounts if they supply you with the account id. Example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.account_id = '1000000717')
You can also combine top-level queries to find for two providers: ((costs.provider = 'datadog') OR (costs.provider = 'azure'))
Some cost providers operate in a specific region, you can filter using the costs.region field. Example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.region = 'us-east-1')
Note that when users want to query a Custom Provider, that has a special case. When doing a VQL query for custom provider, use the 'token' you get back from the 'list-cost-integrations' tool. Here is an example, where the token of the custom provider is "accss_crdntl_07171984":
(costs.provider = 'custom_provider:accss_crdntl_07171984')
The DateBin parameter controls the time granularity of returned results.
When DateBin=day you get a record for each service spend on that day. For DateBin=week you get one entry per week,
with the accrued_at field set to the first day of the week, but the spend item represents spend for a full week.
Same with DateBin=month, each record returned covers a month of data. This lets you get answers with processing fewer
records. If omitted, DateBin defaults to day.
Cost settings (credits, refunds, discounts, tax, amortization, etc.) default to the workspace's default report settings.
Only provide these parameters if you need to override those defaults.
Use settings_aggregate_by to choose the metric: cost (default), usage, or count.
When aggregate_by is count, the response includes total_count and counts (date-binned distinct Group By permutation counts for the full requested period).
Query-financial-commitment-report-costsQuery cost data for a Financial Commitment Report. Omit date_bin, groupings, filter, and
on_demand_costs_scope to use the report's saved configuration.
DateBin controls time granularity. When DateBin=day each record represents one day; week and month
behave similarly with accrued_at set to the period start. Hourly costs are limited to 14 days.
If omitted, the report's configured date bucket is used.
Query-network-flow-logsQueries aggregated network flow log data (costs and bytes). Pass a saved report token or an ad hoc filter. Unlike create/update, custom date ranges use start_date and end_date without date_interval=custom.
Remove-team-memberRemove a user from a Team without deleting the user.
Submit-user-feedbackSubmit feedback on using the Vantage MCP Server. Ask the user if they'd like to provide feedback any time you sense they might be frustrated.
Stop suggesting if they say they're not interested in providing feedback.
Update-annotationUpdate the title, date, message, or associated Cost Reports of an existing Annotation. Providing report_tokens replaces all existing Report associations. Use list-annotations to find the annotation_token.
Update-anomalyUpdates an existing anomaly alert by its token. Use this to change the status of an anomaly alert (e.g. to archive or ignore it) and optionally provide feedback.
Update-billing-ruleUpdates an existing Billing Rule. You can update the title, dates, and type-specific fields.
Type-specific fields:
- Exclusion: charge_type
- Adjustment: percentage, service, category
- Charge/Credit: service, category, sub_category, amount, start_date
- Custom: sql_query
Update-budgetUpdates an existing Budget. You can update the name, linked Cost Report, child Budget tokens for hierarchical budgets, period cadence, or budget periods.
Update-budget-alertUpdate an existing Budget Alert's monitored Budgets, percentage threshold, monthly time window, or recipients. Budget Alerts monitor Budget objects.
Update-canvasUpdates an existing Canvas. You can update the title, the prompt, or both. Updating the prompt triggers an asynchronous refresh to regenerate the canvas data.
Update-cost-alertUpdates an existing Cost Alert. Use to change the title, threshold, interval, monitored Cost Reports, or notification destinations.
Use list-cost-alerts or get-cost-alert to find the cost_alert_token. Do not use this for Report Notifications or recurring Cost Report delivery.
Update-cost-reportUpdates an existing Cost Report. Use to change the title, VQL filter, groupings, date range, chart type, folder, report settings, or attached business metrics.
Do not use create-cost-report (creates a new report) or get-cost-report (reads without changing). Use list-cost-reports or get-cost-report to find the cost_report_token.
Update-dashboardUpdates an existing Dashboard. You can update the title, widgets, saved filters, and date range settings.
Update-financial-commitment-reportUpdates an existing Financial Commitment Report. Use this to change the report title, VQL filter, date range, date bucket, on-demand costs scope, or grouping dimensions.
Date ranges can be set with either:
- date_interval, or
- start_date and end_date.
Unless date_interval is "custom", date_interval is incompatible with start_date and end_date.
VQL filters use financial commitment fields and should follow Vantage Query Language syntax. Additional VQL documentation is available at https://docs.vantage.sh/vql.
Update-folderUpdates a Folder's title, parent, or SavedFilter tokens. Folder type cannot be changed after creation.
Update-network-flow-reportUpdates a saved Network Flow Report. Use list-network-flow-reports to discover tokens.
Update-recommendation-viewUpdates an existing Recommendation View. Use this to change the view title or the filters applied to saved recommendation views.
Filters can be scoped by provider, billing account, cloud account, region, tag key/value, and recommendation creation date range.
Dates must be YYYY-MM-DD formatted. Tag filters should use tag_key and tag_value together.
Update-report-forecastUpdate a scenario-model ReportForecast. Providing scenario_model_tokens replaces the assigned models.
Send business_metric_token as null to clear the BusinessMetric. Use set_as_default to make this the Cost Report default forecast.
Requires Scenario Models (Enterprise). A 403 means the account is not entitled or the caller cannot update the Cost Report.
Update-report-notificationUpdates an existing Report Notification in Vantage.
Use this tool to change a scheduled Cost Report notification's title, Cost Report, recipients, Slack or Microsoft Teams channels, delivery frequency, or tracked change type. Report Notifications deliver recurring Cost Report summaries on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence.
Do not use this for Cost Alerts, budget alerts, threshold alerts, or spend-limit notifications. Cost Alerts manage spend thresholds; Report Notifications manage scheduled report delivery.
Update-resource-reportUpdates an existing Resource Report. Use to change the title, VQL filter, table columns, or folder.
Do not use create-resource-report (creates a new report) or get-resource-report (reads without changing). Use list-resource-reports or get-resource-report to find the resource_report_token.
Update-scenario-modelUpdate an existing ScenarioModel. Providing periods replaces the full period set.
Use null for priority, provider, service, or period end_at to clear those values.
Requires Scenario Models (Enterprise). A 403 means the account is not entitled or the caller cannot update the model.
Update-teamUpdate a Team's name, description, Workspace and user associations, user role, or default Dashboard.
Update-virtual-tag-configUpdates an existing Virtual Tag's config-level settings or complete ordered mappings/values. Supplying values replaces the entire list in that order, and an empty array clears it; use the value-level tools to append, partially edit, or delete one mapping.
Update-virtual-tag-config-valuePartially edits one mapping/value in an existing Virtual Tag Config. Omitted fields remain unchanged, display_name set to null clears it, and this tool cannot reorder values.
Update-workspaceUpdate an existing Workspace. You can update the name, currency conversion settings, currency code, and exchange rate date method.
