Server tool list (5)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| register_monitor | Agent Flight Recorder — FREE (1 monitor per alert target) / Gateway key (20 monitors + stored capsules + fleet view). Register an agent or scheduled job to be watched: you get a monitor_id + secret; the agent then calls heartbeat every period_minutes. If heartbeats stop for period + grace, the alert target (Discord/HTTPS webhook and/or email) is notified with the last state capsule and a resume link. |
| heartbeat | Agent Flight Recorder — "still alive" ping for a registered monitor. Include capsule (any JSON ≤32KB: current step, done, next, ids) so a dead-man alert can carry resume state (stored on the key tier). status:"fail" reports a failure immediately. |
| fetch_capsule | Agent Flight Recorder (Gateway key) — get the last state capsule a monitored agent sent, to resume from where it died. |
| fleet_status | Agent Flight Recorder (Gateway key) — every monitor you own: alive / late / dead, last heartbeat, capsule preview. |
| delete_monitor | Agent Flight Recorder — remove a monitor (needs its secret or the owning key). |
