Short answer

Can I manage uptime tests with my AI?

Yes. Your agent uses StatusCake tools to create new tests, check current status, and update existing monitoring configurations. You get full control over your service availability checks through a simple chat interface.

Monitoring outcomes

Control your monitoring from chat.

Your agent handles the technical setup and status checks.

SETUP

New uptime tests

Your agent creates new monitoring checks based on your requirements. You just provide the URL and the desired check frequency.

AUDIT

Current test list

The agent pulls a full list of your active monitors. You can quickly see what is currently being tracked across different locations.

ADJUST

Modify existing tests

If you need to change how often a service is checked or where it's checked from, your agent updates the configuration for you.

MANUAL

Human oversight

You decide when to delete a test or when to investigate a specific failure. The AI manages the data, but you keep the final say.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a status update.

The agent acts as your interface to the StatusCake monitoring engine.

  1. Identify targets

    The agent looks up your existing monitoring configurations to see which services are currently being tracked.

    list_uptimes

  2. Check specific status

    Once you identify a service, the agent pulls the specific details and current availability for that single monitor.

    get_uptime

  3. Configure new checks

    When you have a new service to watch, the agent sets up the monitoring parameters and target locations.

    create_uptimelist_uptime_locations

  4. Update settings

    If a service moves or needs different check intervals, the agent modifies the existing test parameters.

    update_uptime
