Zabbix MCP Server

report_get

Read-only

Retrieve scheduled Zabbix reports by report ID or dashboard ID. Find all reports generated from specific dashboards for auditing and delivery tracking.

Instructions

Retrieve scheduled reports. Reports are generated from dashboards on a schedule and delivered to users or user groups via email or other media. Filter by reportids for direct lookup or by dashboardids to find all reports generated from specific dashboards.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum number of results to return.
filterNoReturn only results whose properties exactly match the given values (a single value or a list of values per key). Example: {"status": 0} or {"status": [0, 1]}. Keys: active_since (6.0+), active_till (6.0+), cycle (6.0+), dashboardid (6.0+), info (6.0+), lastsent (6.0+), message (6.0+), name (6.0+), period (6.0+), reportid (6.0+), start_time (6.0+), state (6.0+), status (6.0+), subject (6.0+), userid (6.0+), weekdays (6.0+). Text properties cannot be filtered; use 'search' for them.
outputNoProperties of the report object to return. Pass 'extend' for all, 'count' for the number of matches only, or a comma-separated list of property names. Default when omitted: reportid, name, status. Properties: active_since (6.0+), active_till (6.0+), cycle (6.0+), dashboardid (6.0+), description (6.0+), info (6.0+), lastsent (6.0+), message (6.0+), name (6.0+), period (6.0+), reportid (6.0+), start_time (6.0+), state (6.0+), status (6.0+), subject (6.0+), userid (6.0+), weekdays (6.0+).
searchNoReturn results whose string properties contain the given pattern (case-insensitive; '*' is a wildcard when searchWildcardsEnabled is true). Example: {"name": "web"}. Keys: active_since (6.0+), active_till (6.0+), description (6.0+), info (6.0+), message (6.0+), name (6.0+), subject (6.0+).
serverNoTarget Zabbix server. Available: default. Defaults to 'default' if omitted.
raw_jsonNoStrips the security disclaimer preamble from the response so it is pure JSON. Default: false. Requires the bearer token to have 'allow_raw_json' explicitly enabled by an operator in the admin portal - tokens without that policy receive a PolicyError instead. WARNING: setting true bypasses the prompt-injection mitigation marker that wraps untrusted Zabbix data (host names, item descriptions, problem text). LLM clients (Claude, GPT, Cursor, ...) should leave this false; only programmatic non-LLM consumers (Python scripts, n8n workflows that json.loads the result) should set true.
reportidsNoReturn only reports with the given IDs.
sortfieldNoSort by one or more of: reportid, name, status (comma-separated for several; pair with 'sortorder'). No other property is sortable.
sortorderNoSort order: 'ASC' (ascending) or 'DESC' (descending).
countOutputNoReturn the count of matching results instead of the actual data.
searchByAnyNoIf true, return results matching ANY search field (OR). Default is ALL fields (AND).
dashboardidsNoReturn only reports associated with the given dashboard IDs.
extra_paramsNoOther native report.get parameters, merged into the request as-is. Parameters: expired (6.0+). Sub-object selects (value 'extend', 'count' or a list of property names): selectUserGroups (6.0+), selectUsers (6.0+). Any other key is refused here, because Zabbix would silently ignore it. For a parameter you are sure exists on your release but is not listed, use zabbix_raw_api_call.
searchWildcardsEnabledNoIf true, enable * and ? wildcards in search patterns.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the agent knows this is a safe read operation. The description adds domain context about report generation and delivery, but does not disclose behavioral details like pagination behavior, rate limits, or output handling beyond what the schema and annotations already provide. No contradiction exists.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is three sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and then the key filtering modes. Every sentence contributes useful information with no redundant restatement of the tool name or schema details.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool has an output schema and fully documented parameters, so the description does not need to explain return values. It covers the core purpose and the two most important lookup paths, though it omits explicit guidance on choosing report_get over report_generate and does not mention advanced parameters such as raw_json, which are nonetheless documented in the schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the detailed parameter meanings are fully documented in the input schema. The description only echoes the reportids and dashboardids filter modes and does not add syntax, formatting, or prioritization guidance beyond that. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb ('Retrieve') and resource ('scheduled reports'), and explains what these reports are: generated from dashboards on a schedule and delivered to users or groups. This clearly distinguishes report_get from the only closely related sibling, report_generate.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives useful filter guidance ('Filter by reportids for direct lookup or by dashboardids to find all reports generated from specific dashboards'), but it does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus alternatives such as report_generate. Usage is implied by the read-only retrieval framing rather than stated as a rule.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
