Real-time model and job tracking

Run `list_models` and `list_jobs` to see exactly what is happening on your cluster without leaving the chat window. Get the current status of every training run instantly. This lets you verify model health before you commit to a deployment. Stop context switching between your browser and the IDE to check on long-running tasks.

Inspect H2O.ai data frames

Use `list_frames` to see available datasets and `get_frame` to pull specific details. You get the raw metadata you need to debug data ingestion issues. Your agent can now parse these frames directly to identify missing values or feature drift. It turns your H2O.ai data into actionable context for your next coding task.

Audit cluster health via MCP Server

Call `cloud_status` to ensure your H2O.ai infrastructure is actually ready for heavy lifting. It provides a quick heartbeat check on your cloud resources. If the cluster is struggling, you will know before you start a massive job. It prevents wasted compute cycles and keeps your development cycle moving.
