Can I check if my automations failed recently through the agent?

Yes. The `list_recipe_jobs` tool allows your AI agent to retrieve the execution history for any recipe ID, showing you which jobs succeeded and which encountered errors so you can monitor health through chat.

How do I know if an app connection is still active?

You can use the `list_app_connections` tool. It will return all configured connections in your Workato account along with their current status, helping you identify disconnected apps immediately.

Can I see which workflows are available as REST APIs?

Absolutely. Use the `get_api_collections` tool to retrieve a list of all API collections exposed by your Workato tenant, showing you which recipes are ready for external invocation.
