Stop jumping between browser tabs to check if your site is actually up. Use `get_uptime_stats` and `get_site_health` to pull live status reports directly into your conversation thread. Your AI client interprets these stats, letting you know exactly when a site hits a snag. It saves you from manual dashboard refreshes during a production incident.

Keep your production environment clean by scanning for broken links and security gaps. Use `check_broken_links` and `get_security_status` to identify issues before they hurt your traffic.
