Tools

• get_api_status ~143 tokens
  Probe a monitored API endpoint at call time and return up/degraded/down with the response time. This is the tool to reach for when a user asks "is X down?" — it makes a real request rather than reading the hourly cache.
• get_incident_history ~256 tokens
  Real incidents a vendor published on its own status page, newest first, with start/end times, duration, severity, affected components and a link to the vendor’s incident page. Use this for "has X been flaky lately?" — it is the vendor’s own record, not our probes. Services without a public Statuspag
• get_uptime_history ~171 tokens
  Uptime percentages, response-time stats and recorded data points for one API over a time range. History is retained for 30 days; an API added recently will have few or no data points, which reads as null percentages rather than 100%.
• list_apis ~184 tokens
  List the APIs and developer platforms this service monitors, optionally filtered by category. Statuses come from the most recently published monitor snapshot, not a live probe, and can be up to a day old — check monitorCheckedAt, and call get_api_status when the caller needs the status right now.
• list_categories ~66 tokens
  Category slugs and how many monitored APIs sit in each. Use the slugs with list_apis.
• list_down_apis ~110 tokens
  Everything the most recent monitor run found down or degraded, across all categories. Returns an empty list when the monitor snapshot is missing or stale — an empty list is therefore not proof that everything is healthy; check monitorLastRun.
• rank_reliability ~260 tokens
  Given several service slugs, return a scorecard ranked worst-first: incident count, total downtime minutes, mean time to resolve, and the longest incident over a window. Use this to answer "which vendor in my stack is least reliable?" — it compares services across vendors, which a vendor’s own monit
• search_apis ~146 tokens
  Find monitored APIs by name, slug, category or description. Use this to resolve a product name the user mentioned into the slug the other tools take.
