How do I create a Pingdom API Token?

In your Pingdom dashboard (or SolarWinds portal), go to **Settings** > **API Tokens**. Click **Add API Token**, give it a name, and ensure it has the necessary access levels.

Can I see response times for different global regions?

Yes! The `list_check_results` tool returns data from multiple probe locations, allowing you to see how your site performs from different parts of the world.

Does this support pausing multiple checks at once?

The tools handle checks individually, but you can ask the AI agent to 'Pause all checks related to our API' and it will process them sequentially using their IDs.
