Can I check if a specific website is down using the agent?

Yes! Use the `list_monitors` tool to see the status of all your monitored URLs. You can also use `get_monitor` with a specific ID to see its current status and last checked timestamp.

How do I see who is currently on-call?

Simply ask the agent to `list_on_calls`. It will retrieve the current schedules and rotations, showing you who is responsible for incident response right now.

Does the integration allow me to create a new heartbeat monitor?

Currently, the toolset focuses on managing monitors and retrieving incident/on-call data. You can list and inspect heartbeats, but for creating new monitors with complex notification rules, we recommend using the Better Stack dashboard.
