Sync team-wide site health in VS Code

Commit your monitoring setup to the repo so everyone sees the same metrics. Use `list_monitored_sites` to ensure the team is tracking the right properties. It removes the friction of manual setup for new developers. Every engineer on your team gets access to the same site stats via the Copilot chat.

Get security status reports in VS Code

Have your agent check your site's security posture before a release. Call `get_security_status` to pull SSL and general health data into your editor. Your team can verify the site is secure without leaving their IDE. It turns a manual security review into a simple prompt.

List WordPress syncs inside VS Code

Keep track of your plugin state without logging into the admin panel. Use `list_wordpress_syncs` to verify that your site's plugins are correctly synced. Your agent can alert you to sync issues right in your editor. It prevents configuration drift before it becomes a real problem for the site.
