Honeycomb
Honeycomb is built for asking questions of high-cardinality telemetry, which is exactly what an investigation needs. Antimetal queries your datasets, traces, and triggers through Honeycomb's MCP server using a read-only Management API key.
What Antimetal does with Honeycomb
- Run queries against your datasets to isolate the affected slice of traffic
- Analyze columns to find the dimension that separates failing requests from healthy ones
- Follow distributed traces to the span where latency or errors originate
- Read triggers to see which conditions your team alerts on
Connecting Honeycomb
Prerequisites
- A Honeycomb team with Honeycomb Intelligence enabled

Antimetal.Select the Model Context Protocol and Environments scopes, and grant Read on both. No write scopes are needed.
Copy both values. The secret is shown only once — save it securely.

Antimetal uses a read-only Management API key scoped to Model Context Protocol and Environments. It is restricted to listing and reading datasets, running queries, and analyzing columns. No write operations are performed.
