Agent-driven infrastructure audits

Let your agent run `list_endpoints` to verify your environment before you start coding. It identifies which services are down before you write a single line of code. Cursor then uses this data to suggest fixes. You're coding against reality, not guesses.

Performance data in your editor

Call `get_endpoint_stats` while you're working on a service. Your agent gets the exact response times, which helps it write more efficient database queries. Stop relying on stale documentation. You have the latest performance numbers right in your chat panel.

Automated health checks

Use `get_endpoint_health` to verify your changes in real-time. Your agent can call this tool after a build to ensure the service is actually passing its health tests. It provides immediate feedback. If the test fails, you know exactly which endpoint is causing the issue.
