A4.4/5.0

Scored 2026-08-31 00:40 across 12 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool maps to a distinct resource and action: check CRUD, pause/resume, pings, flips, badges, and integrations. The only potentially related pair, list_pings and get_ping_body, is clearly separated by metadata vs raw body.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a clean verb_noun snake_case pattern, with list_* for collections and get_/create_/update_/delete_/pause_/resume_ for single-resource actions. There are no mixed casing styles or inconsistent verb choices.

Tool Count5/5

12 tools is well within the ideal range for this domain, and each tool covers a distinct, necessary operation for managing and inspecting Healthchecks monitoring. The set feels complete without being bloated.

Completeness4/5

The check lifecycle is fully covered with create, get, update, delete, pause, and resume, plus history and supporting data like pings, flips, badges, and integrations. The main minor gap is that there is no tool to send a ping or manually trigger a check success/failure, so end-to-end ping verification must happen out-of-band.

healthchecksio_create_checkCreate check

Destructive

Inspect

CREATES a new check — this MODIFIES live monitoring config. Provide a timeout (simple period-based check) OR a schedule + tz (cron-based check); the two are mutually exclusive. Use unique to avoid creating duplicates. Assign notifications via channels. Healthchecks: POST /checks/. Returns the created check (201) or the existing match (200).

ParametersJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`tz`	No	Server's timezone for the cron `schedule`, e.g. "Europe/Riga".
`desc`	No	Free-form description of the check.
`name`	No	Human-readable name for the check.
`slug`	No	URL slug (used for slug-based ping URLs).
`tags`	No	Space-separated list of tags, e.g. "prod db backups".
`grace`	No	Grace time in seconds after the deadline before the check goes down.
`unique`	No	Dedupe fields — if a check already matches on these (e.g. ["name"]), it is returned instead of created.
`methods`	No	Allowed ping HTTP methods: "" (any) or "POST" (POST-only).
`timeout`	No	Expected period between pings, in seconds (60..31536000). Mutually exclusive with `schedule`.
`channels`	No	Integrations to assign: "*" for all, or a comma-separated list of integration ids.
`schedule`	No	Cron expression for the expected ping schedule (e.g. "15 5 * * *"). Mutually exclusive with `timeout`; requires `tz`.
`manual_resume`	No	If true, a paused check does not auto-resume on the next ping (resume manually).

healthchecksio_delete_checkDelete check

Destructive

Inspect

`uuid`	Yes	The check's UUID to delete.

healthchecksio_get_checkGet check

Read-only

Inspect

Get a single check by its UUID (or its unique read-only key). Returns the check's full state — status, timeout/schedule, grace, tags, last ping. Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}.

ParametersJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`uuid`	Yes	The check's UUID, or its unique read-only key.

healthchecksio_get_ping_bodyGet ping body

Read-only

Inspect

Get the logged request body of a single ping, returned as PLAIN TEXT (verbatim, not JSON). Healthchecks: GET /checks/{uuid}/pings/{n}/body.
