Tools

• betterstack_acknowledge_incident ~196 tokens
  Acknowledge an ongoing incident, signalling that someone is looking into it (stops further escalation). Idempotent-ish: acknowledging an already-acknowledged incident returns HTTP 409. Uptime API: POST /api/v3/incidents/{id}/acknowledge.
• betterstack_get_incident ~139 tokens
  Get a single incident by id, including cause, status, timeline timestamps (started/acknowledged/resolved), who acknowledged/resolved it, and the related monitor. Uptime API: GET /api/v3/incidents/{id}.
• betterstack_get_monitor ~127 tokens
  Get a single monitor by id, including current status, last_checked_at, SSL/HTTP settings, regions, and alerting configuration. Uptime API: GET /api/v2/monitors/{id}.
• betterstack_list_heartbeats ~189 tokens
  List heartbeats (cron/background-job monitors that expect a periodic ping), with period, grace, and status (up/down/paused/pending). Uptime API: GET /api/v2/heartbeats.
• betterstack_list_incidents ~374 tokens
  List incidents (alerts triggered by monitors/heartbeats), filterable by date range, monitor, and acknowledged/resolved state. Each incident carries cause, started_at, acknowledged_at, resolved_at. Uptime API: GET /api/v3/incidents.
• betterstack_list_monitors ~252 tokens
  List uptime monitors with their status (up/down/paused/pending/maintenance/validating), check frequency, and alert settings. Good first call to discover what is being monitored. Uptime API: GET /api/v2/monitors.
• betterstack_list_on_call ~182 tokens
  List on-call calendars/schedules and the users currently on call for escalation. Useful to see who gets paged. Uptime API: GET /api/v2/on-calls.
• betterstack_list_status_pages ~181 tokens
  List public/private status pages with company name, subdomain, aggregate_state, and published flag. Uptime API: GET /api/v2/status-pages.

  Resolve an ongoing incident, marking it as handled/closed. Idempotent-ish: resolving an already-resolved incident returns HTTP 409. Uptime API: POST /api/v3/incidents/{id}/resolve.
