Short answer

Can my AI manage my HetrixTools monitors?

Yes. Your agent can list your existing monitors, add new ones, delete old ones, or put a monitor into maintenance mode. This allows you to control your entire monitoring stack through your chat interface.

Where every change lands.

Monitor management outcomes

Your agent performs these specific actions in HetrixTools.

INVENTORY

View all monitors

The AI pulls a full list of your active monitors. You get a clear view of what is currently being watched.

CREATION

Add new targets

Tell your agent which URL or IP to watch. It handles the setup in HetrixTools immediately.

CLEANUP

Remove old monitors

If a site is retired, just tell your agent to delete it. It removes the monitor from your account.

CONTROL

Silence false alerts

When you're doing planned work, the AI toggles maintenance mode. This keeps your inbox clean from noise.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The agent acts as a direct interface between your chat and the HetrixTools API.

  1. Audit current setup

    The agent checks what you already have running to ensure it has the right context before making changes.

    list_uptime_monitors

  2. Expand coverage

    When you launch a new service, the agent registers the new endpoint for monitoring.

    add_uptime_monitor

  3. Clean up assets

    The agent removes specific monitors that are no longer needed based on your instructions.

    delete_uptime_monitor

  4. Manage alert noise

    The agent prevents unnecessary notifications by switching monitors into a maintenance state.
