List monitor events

monitors_events_list
Read-only

Pull API for a monitor's events — queryable regardless of webhook delivery configuration.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYes
limitNo
cursorNo
contextYesDescribe the user's underlying goal in one sentence — not the tool you are calling.
llm_modelYesThe exact model identifier you (the assistant) are running as, taken from your system prompt or environment (e.g. "claude-opus-4-8", "gpt-5.2"). Used for analytics only. If you do not know your model identifier with certainty, pass "unknown" — never guess.
conversation_idNoEcho the conversation_id from the server's previous response. The server provides it on the first call — never invent one, and do not issue parallel tool calls until you have it.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The readOnlyHint annotation already signals that this is a safe read operation. The description adds one meaningful behavioral detail: this API is queryable independently of webhook delivery configuration. However, it does not describe response format, pagination behavior, or event ordering, so it is adequate but not rich.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, tight sentence with no filler. It front-loads the main action and then adds the key differentiator about webhook independence.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, no return-format details, and no explanation of cursor-based pagination, the description is not complete enough for correct invocation. The tool has six parameters, three required, and the description does not clarify what an event is, how events are returned, or how pagination works.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 50%, and the description does not meaningfully compensate for the undocumented parameters. The phrase "a monitor's events" implies the id parameter refers to a monitor ID, but limit and cursor semantics are not addressed anywhere. The schema documents context, llm_model, and conversation_id, but cursor pagination and result limiting remain unexplained.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states this is a pull API for a monitor's events, using a specific verb and resource. The phrase 'queryable regardless of webhook delivery configuration' distinguishes it from webhook-related tools such as webhookEndpoints_deliveries_list. It separates this tool from siblings like monitors_get and monitors_checks_list by focusing on event retrieval.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides a clear usage context: this tool can be used to query monitor events even when webhook delivery is not configured. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, but the 'regardless of webhook delivery configuration' clause is a strong contextual signal for choosing this tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
