      "Title": "monitors get/update: expose the `options` object",
      "Excerpt": "## Summary\n\nThe `monitors` tool's `action: get` returns a simplified monitor view that omits the `options` object (notify_audit, renotify_interval, notify_no_data, no_data_timeframe, timeout_h, include_tags, escalation_message, silenced groups, etc.). Datadog's own GET `/api/v1/monitor/{id}` returns these, so they're being stripped by the MCP layer.\n\nThis makes `action: update` dangerous in practice because you can't see the current option values before changing them.\n\n## Repro\n\n```json\n{ \"actio",

      "Excerpt": "## Summary\n\nThe `slos` tool's `action: get` returned SLO metadata (name, type, thresholds, timeframe, tags, status) but **omitted the `query` object** (`numerator` / `denominator` for metric SLOs, or `monitor_ids` for monitor SLOs). Datadog's own [GET /api/v1/slo/{slo_id}](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/service-level-objectives/#get-an-slos-details) returns these, so they were being stripped at the MCP layer.\n\nThis made `action: update` unusable for any field-level edit (tags, name, descr",

Session involved creating SLOs + burn-rate monitors, analyzing 60-day metrics, and auditing 30-day events. What worked well and what slowed the workflow down.\n\n## What worked well\n\n- `monitors`, `slos`, `events`, `metrics` action-based API is coherent and predictable\n- Parallel calls work cleanly (created SLO + 2 monitors in one message)\n- Events search returns structured JSON (jq-friendly)\n- SLO",

These configs have fully-documented public APIs and would close a real investigation gap.\n\n## Motivation\n\nWhen investigating why certain logs are missing from monitors, alerts, or Watchdog analysis, operators need to verify:\n\n- **Which pipeline processors are applied to a service's logs** (grok parsing, remappers, lookups)\n",

Dependency direction is the main input for cascade root-cause analysis — deciding whether the alerting service is the cause or a victim of something downstream — and today every consumer has to re-derive it.\n\n### What works today, and what it costs\n\n`traces action=aggregate` with `groupBy: [\"service\", \"peer.service\"]` does produce caller→callee edges with counts.

The URL includes the time range (`start`/`end` for APM, `from_ts`/`to_ts` for logs), but it does **not** lock the time picker, so the UI opens in **live mode** and immediately resets to the default *Past 15 minutes* window — the queried range is lost.
