Short answer

Can I check Matillion agent health with my AI?

Yes. Your AI uses the list_agents tool to pull a real-time list of all active runtime agents. This lets you verify your ELT environment is ready for tasks. Here is how it works.

Status outcomes.

Where your agent data lands.

Your AI turns Matillion agent lists into clear status updates.

STATUS

Agent availability

The AI uses list_agents to see which agents are online. You get a clear view of your current execution capacity.

TRIAGE

Identify offline agents

If a task fails, your AI can check if a specific agent went offline. You'll know if the infrastructure is the problem.

PLANNING

Capacity checks

Ask your agent how many agents are currently active. This helps you decide if you have enough resources for a heavy ELT job.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If the AI finds a disconnected agent, you'll need to log into Matillion to restart the service or fix the connection.

The workflow
