Manage Monitoring Checks

Windsurf uses the `create_check` tool to monitor new APIs or websites. You tell Cascade what needs checking, and it handles setting up the HTTP check using parameters like schedule and endpoint. You can also use `delete_check` when a service is retired. This ensures your monitoring list stays accurate, preventing false alerts on dead endpoints.

Analyze Service Status

Want to know how reliable a service has been lately? The `get_check_stats` tool pulls performance metrics for any existing check. This gives you concrete data points showing uptime percentages and failure rates over time. If an alert goes off, the `get_root_cause_analysis` tool provides immediate context on why it failed. Cascade reads this analysis and can suggest follow-up actions automatically.

View System Integrations

Check what's connected to your monitoring system using `list_integrations`. This shows you all active connections, from cloud providers to internal databases. If you need a full picture of everything monitored, `list_checks` pulls every monitor check into the current context. Windsurf then lets Cascade work off that complete list.
