Implementation Reference

  • The MCPToolBase subclass that defines and implements the tool, including the name, description, and the core async run() handler method that fetches analytics rule templates, extracts tactics, and computes counts per tactic.
    class SentinelAnalyticsRuleTemplatesCountByTacticTool(MCPToolBase): """ Count Sentinel analytics rule templates by tactic. Extracts tactics from each template and returns a mapping of tactic to count and template summaries. """ name = "sentinel_analytics_rule_templates_count_by_tactic" description = "Count Sentinel analytics rule templates by tactic." async def run(self, ctx: Context, **kwargs) -> Dict: """ Count analytics rule templates by tactic. Returns a dict: {tactic: {count: int, templates: [{id, display_name}]}} """ logger = self.logger # Extract Azure context workspace, resource_group, subscription_id = self.get_azure_context(ctx) client = self.get_securityinsight_client(subscription_id) tactic_map = {} try: templates = client.alert_rule_templates.list(resource_group, workspace) for template in templates: template_dict = ( template.as_dict() if hasattr(template, "as_dict") else dict(template) ) # pylint: disable=unused-variable tags, tactics, _ = extract_tags_tactics_techniques_from_dict( template_dict ) display_name = ( template_dict.get("display_name") or template_dict.get("displayName") or template_dict.get("name") ) for tactic in tactics or ["Unknown"]: tkey = tactic.lower() or "unknown" if tkey not in tactic_map: tactic_map[tkey] = {"count": 0, "templates": []} tactic_map[tkey]["count"] += 1 tactic_map[tkey]["templates"].append( { "id": template_dict.get("id"), "display_name": display_name, } ) return { "valid": True, "error": None, "results": tactic_map, "errors": [], } except Exception as e: logger.error("Error in %s: %s", self.__class__.__name__, str(e)) return { "valid": False, "error": str(e), "results": None, "errors": [str(e)], }
  • The register_tools function that registers all analytics tools with the MCP server, including a call to register this specific tool.
    def register_tools(mcp): """ Register all analytics tools with the given MCP server instance. Args: mcp: The MCP server instance to register tools with. """ SentinelAnalyticsRuleListTool.register(mcp) SentinelAnalyticsRuleGetTool.register(mcp) SentinelAnalyticsRuleTemplatesListTool.register(mcp) SentinelAnalyticsRuleTemplateGetTool.register(mcp) SentinelAnalyticsRulesCountByTacticTool.register(mcp) SentinelAnalyticsRuleTemplatesCountByTacticTool.register(mcp) SentinelAnalyticsRulesCountByTechniqueTool.register(mcp) SentinelAnalyticsRuleTemplatesCountByTechniqueTool.register(mcp)
  • Utility helper function to extract tags, tactics, and techniques from analytics rule or template dictionaries, used in the tool's run method to categorize templates by tactic.
    def extract_tags_tactics_techniques_from_dict(obj): """ Extract tags, tactics, and techniques from an analytics rule/template dict. Args: obj (dict): Analytics rule or template dictionary. Returns: tuple: (tags, tactics, techniques) tags (list[dict]): All tags as {name, value} pairs. tactics (list[str]): List of tactics (from tags or legacy fields). techniques (list[str]): List of techniques (from tags or legacy fields). Extraction precedence: - Tactics/techniques: Prefer tags with name 'tactics'/'techniques' (case-insensitive, split on comma). Fallback to legacy fields. - Tags: All tags as {name, value} pairs (robust to SDK object, dict, or string). """ tags = [] tactics = [] techniques = [] raw_tags = obj.get("tags") if raw_tags: for tag in raw_tags: tag_name = None tag_value = None if isinstance(tag, dict): tag_name = tag.get("name") or tag.get("Name") tag_value = tag.get("value") or tag.get("Value") elif hasattr(tag, "name") and hasattr(tag, "value"): tag_name = getattr(tag, "name", None) tag_value = getattr(tag, "value", None) elif isinstance(tag, str): tag_name = tag tag_value = None else: try: tag_name = str(tag) except Exception: continue if tag_name is not None: tags.append({"name": tag_name, "value": tag_value}) for tag in tags: if tag["name"] and isinstance(tag["name"], str): if tag["name"].lower() == "tactics" and tag["value"]: tactics += [t.strip() for t in tag["value"].split(",") if t.strip()] elif tag["name"].lower() == "techniques" and tag["value"]: techniques += [t.strip() for t in tag["value"].split(",") if t.strip()] legacy_tactics = obj.get("tactics") if legacy_tactics: tactics += [ t.strip() for t in legacy_tactics if isinstance(t, str) and t.strip() ] legacy_techniques = obj.get("techniques") if legacy_techniques: techniques += [ t.strip() for t in legacy_techniques if isinstance(t, str) and t.strip() ] tactics = list(dict.fromkeys([t for t in tactics if t])) techniques = list(dict.fromkeys([t for t in techniques if t])) return tags, tactics, techniques
