Get check performance metrics
Get specific performance data and response times for any given check. This helps you identify exactly when and where your application started slowing down.
Get check details
Retrieve full details for a specific monitor to see its current configuration. It's the fastest way to see the exact parameters of a specific test.
List checkly alert channels
See all configured alert destinations like Slack, Email, or PagerDuty. This ensures your team knows exactly where they'll receive critical notifications.
List checkly checks
Get a full list of all your active API and Browser monitors. Use this to get a quick overview of everything you're currently tracking.
List check groups
View the different groups your checks are organized into. This helps you see how your monitoring is structured across different services.

A Connector is a URL. Vinkius runs it: hosting, security, governance, observability.
You're looking at one of 5,800+ managed Connectors. The real value isn't the catalog. It's the control plane that secures, governs, audits, and manages every interaction between your agents and the tools they use.
No Shadow AI
Every agent action is visible, approved, and auditable. Nothing runs outside your governance.
Absolute agent control
Fine-grained permissions for every agent, MCP, and tool. Instantly revoke access and audit every execution.
Cost control per token
Spend broken down to the token, tool, and agent. Budgets and hard limits. No surprise invoices.
Managed & monitored infra
We operate the runtime, authentication, scaling, retries, and monitoring. Your team manages AI, not infrastructure.
Data protection, DLP by design
Sensitive data is filtered before reaching the model. Access is governed so agents receive only the information they're allowed to use.
Token optimization, real savings
Lower AI costs by delivering the right context instead of unnecessary tools. Better accuracy, faster responses, and fewer wasted tokens.
