Pingdom check per-probe status

pingdom_check_probes_status

Read-only

Returns the most recent status per probe for a single check, in a structure parallel to synthetics_summary_by_location. Use this to determine whether an outage is global (all probes down) or regional (subset of probes down). Returns classification: "global" | "regional" | "healthy", aggregate counts (up/down/unknown), and the list of affected probe IDs.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`checkId`	Yes	Numeric Pingdom check ID
`context_id`	No	Optional explicit Connection Hub work context (ctx_*). Omit to use the conversation's active workspace; global Hub tools ignore it.
`lookbackResults`	No	Number of recent results to use for computing per-probe status (default 30, max 100)

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`ok`	Yes
`data`	Yes
`contractVersion`	Yes
`dataSchemaVersion`	Yes

A4.3/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover the read-only, non-destructive, closed-world safety profile. The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond that: the classification enum values (global/regional/healthy) and the aggregate counts and affected probe IDs returned, which tell the agent how to interpret results.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose then usage then return shape; no filler, every sentence carries information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Complete for a read-only per-probe status tool. It explains scope, the diagnostic question it answers, and the result classification, and an output schema exists to cover return structure.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so all three parameters including lookbackResults and context_id are fully documented in the schema. The description adds nothing parameter-specific, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb+resource+scope: 'Returns the most recent status per probe for a single check.' It also anchors itself against synthetics_summary_by_location and distinguishes implicitly from siblings like pingdom_check_outages (outages) and pingdom_check_get (check details).

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?

Explicitly names the decision it supports: 'determine whether an outage is global (all probes down) or regional (subset of probes down).' Strong usage context, though it doesn't explicitly say when to prefer pingdom_check_outages over this tool.

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