Load when the operator asks for a Honeycomb board or dashboard: a board for a service, a feature, or an incident, a golden signals dashboard, or a board to visualize service health. Designs the board from SLOs and queries, shows the full plan to the operator, and calls create_board only after the operator approves it.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Honeycomb Create Board Requires the Honeycomb connector in the Agent Space, with `create_board` and its read tools enabled. `create_board` needs write access: **Read-write** at sign-in, or a key with **Write** under **Model Context Protocol**. Create a board only when the operator asks for one. Before you gather anything, check that `create_board` is in your tools. If it is not, stop and tell the operator that board creation needs write access. If `create_board` later returns a permission error, stop and tell the operator the same thing. Do not retry. Build a board (dashboard) in Honeycomb using the `create_board` MCP tool. There is no update tool — define it well before creating. When building a board, think about the purpose and time frame involved. Some examples: - a board for a service. This should be timeless, looking at the service's health, performance, and business metrics. Do not do any problem diagnosis or investigation when building this board. Do not express opinions or summarize graphs in text panels. The board should be a representation of the service's health at whatever moment someone looks at it. …

How to install
mdr add aws/tools-for-devops-agent/honeycomb-create-board@sha256:ac757e2ce7da9b04The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
