Can my AI automatically acknowledge an incident so my phone stops ringing?

Yes! Running the `acknowledge_incident` capability pushes a verified API command halting escalation cycles (like SMS and phone calls) natively while you debug.

Is it possible to see the exact HTTP response body or headers that caused a monitor to fail?

Yes, pulling details via `get_incident` exposes the raw nested trace containing the root cause payloads and server errors Better Stack historically received when the check failed.

Can the agent create new monitors automatically?

No. The integration focuses safely on observation, alerting resolution, and tracking currently. Creation endpoints represent mutation vectors decoupled to ensure you preserve billing and account structure intentionally.

Better Stack + Google ADK FAQ

Common questions about integrating Better Stack MCP Server with Google ADK.

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
