Perses Datasource Management

Create, update, and manage datasources across scopes. Use Perses MCP tools when available; fall back to percli CLI when MCP is not connected.

Instructions

Phase 1: IDENTIFY

Supported types (use exact casing because these are case-sensitive Go type identifiers; prometheusdatasource or prometheus will fail with an unhelpful "invalid plugin kind" error):
