Tools

• healthchecksio_create_check ~570 tokens
  CREATES a new check — this MODIFIES live monitoring config. Provide a `timeout` (simple period-based check) OR a `schedule` + `tz` (cron-based check); the two are mutually exclusive. Use `unique` to avoid creating duplicates. Assign notifications via `channels`. Healthchecks: POST /checks/. Returns
• healthchecksio_delete_check Deletes data · ~123 tokens
  PERMANENTLY DELETES a check by UUID — this MODIFIES live monitoring config and cannot be undone. Healthchecks: DELETE /checks/{uuid}. Returns the deleted check's last known state.
• healthchecksio_get_check ~127 tokens
  Get a single check by its UUID (or its unique read-only key). Returns the check's full state — status, timeout/schedule, grace, tags, last ping. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}.
• healthchecksio_get_ping_body ~154 tokens
  Get the logged request body of a single ping, returned as PLAIN TEXT (verbatim, not JSON). Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/pings/{n}/body.
• healthchecksio_list_badges ~82 tokens
  List the project's status-badge URLs per tag (plus "*" for the overall status) — {badges:{...}}. Healthchecks: GET /badges/.
• healthchecksio_list_checks ~165 tokens
  List all checks in the project, optionally filtered by slug and/or tags. Returns {checks:[...]} — each check's status, schedule, last ping, and ping URL. Healthchecks: GET /checks/.
• healthchecksio_list_flips ~244 tokens
  List a check's status changes ("flips") over time — [{timestamp, up}]. Optionally scope by a lookback window or an explicit start/end range. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/flips/.
• healthchecksio_list_integrations ~100 tokens
  List the project's notification integrations ("channels") — {channels:[{id, name, kind}]}. The ids are what you assign to a check's `channels` field. Healthchecks: GET /channels/.
• healthchecksio_list_pings ~128 tokens
  List a check's logged pings (100 on the free plan, 1000 on paid), most recent first. Each ping: type, date, n, scheme, remote_addr, method, ua, rid, duration, body_url. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/pings/.
• healthchecksio_pause_check ~137 tokens
  PAUSES a check — disables monitoring without deleting it (it stops going down for missed pings until it next receives a ping or is resumed). This MODIFIES live monitoring config. Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}/pause (empty body).
• healthchecksio_resume_check ~133 tokens
  RESUMES a paused check — re-enables monitoring. This MODIFIES live monitoring config. Returns HTTP 409 (surfaced cleanly) if the check is not currently paused. Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}/resume (empty body).
• healthchecksio_update_check ~560 tokens
  UPDATES an existing check by UUID — this MODIFIES live monitoring config. Send only the fields you want to change (timeout and schedule remain mutually exclusive). Healthchecks: POST /checks/{uuid}. Returns the updated check.
