Fetch live metrics for Cline tasks
Cline calls `get_realtime_metrics` to grab current queue status for your dashboard components. It handles the request and displays the output directly in your workspace. Stop guessing about active call volume. This server feeds the numbers straight to the agent so it knows exactly what to display.
Review interaction history in Cline
Use `list_agent_interactions` to grab metadata for specific timeframes during your debugging sessions. Cline uses these logs to verify if an agent handled a specific call correctly. It saves you from searching through external admin portals. The agent brings the logs to you.
Track queue performance with Cline
Pull historical data using `list_queue_metrics` to build charts or reports. Cline fetches these stats to help you analyze how your queue performs over time. This data gives the agent the context it needs to write accurate summaries. It turns raw numbers into usable information for your team.
