Measured tools (8)

• list_apis

  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.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — Max results (default 25).
  • category — string — Category slug to filter by, e.g. "ai" — omit for all categories.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• search_apis

  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.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Free-text query, e.g. "openai" or "payments".
  • limit — integer — Max results (default 25).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_api_status

  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.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — API slug, e.g. "openai". Use search_apis to resolve a name.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_down_apis

  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.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_uptime_history

  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%.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — API slug, e.g. "openai".
  • range — string — Window to return data points for (default 24h).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_incident_history

  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 Statuspage endpoint return covered:false rather than an empty list.

  Parameters:

  • service (required) — string — API slug, e.g. "openai". Use search_apis to resolve a name.
  • limit — integer — Max incidents (default 25).
  • window — string — Time window: 7d, 30d, 90d, 180d, 365d, all (default 90d).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• rank_reliability

  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 monitoring tool cannot. Services with no archive are listed separately as uncovered instead of being ranked as flawless.

  Parameters:

  • services (required) — array — API slugs to compare, e.g. ["openai","anthropic","vercel"].
  • window — string — Time window: 7d, 30d, 90d, 180d, 365d, all (default 90d).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_categories

  Category slugs and how many monitored APIs sit in each. Use the slugs with list_apis.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared
