Perplexity

Triage active alarms instantly

Use `get_active_alerts` to pull all current environmental warnings. The team can filter these by site or severity, making sure the highest risk items get addressed first. Once a developer investigates an alarm, they run `acknowledge_alert`. This marks it as investigated and ensures it's recorded in the audit log.

Set and verify safety limits

To ensure compliance, use `get_thresholds` to view what the current alarm boundaries are for a sensor. You can also proactively adjust them using `update_threshold` if operational requirements change. These tools let your team manage sensitivity based on equipment updates or seasonal needs.

Map out facility sensors

Want to know what's monitored at a site? Use `get_sensors`. You can filter this list by specific sites using the IDs from `get_sites`. This helps team members verify that every critical asset, like a UPS room or server rack, has a monitoring point.
