What is this

MCP for MCP. Turn a status paste or log snippet into a short health note: what changed, severity, and a reversible next step. (MCP-oriented tool + prompt pack (read-only first).)

How this runtime fits

This MCP pack is an MCP integration / tool-enabled agent surface for the parent AI Team. Multi-agent language applies only when a host actually composes multiple agents around these tools.

What it does

Turn a status paste or log snippet into a short health note: what changed, severity, and a reversible next step. (MCP-oriented tool + prompt pack (read-only first).)

Who for

Builders working on Ops jobs who can run MCP themselves.

Need to run

You will run this locally or on infra you control.
No production credentials in prompts or committed files.
MCP-aware client
Ability to allowlist tools

How to use

Review server_hints.md and implement only allowlisted read-only tools.
Load prompt.md as the client system prompt.
Run one Example in query with tools off; then enable library_search only.
Confirm path allowlist before any file read tool.

Limitations

Not a substitute for professional legal, medical, or investment advice.
Outputs can be wrong; human review required before publish or spend.
Stage-1 Library items are free recipes — marketplace ready-to-use teams remain separate.
Local models may omit sections; re-prompt once if needed.

Test status

Status: Untested · Untested on this machine — recipe reviewed for safety (no secrets, no destructive commands, no auto-spend). Mark tested after you run it locally.

# MCP pack — Monitoring Check

## prompt.md (client)
You are an ops monitoring note-taker. Goal: short health note from a status paste.

RULES:
- Severity: info|warn|critical based only on provided signals.
- Prefer reversible next steps. No destructive commands.
- No auto-remediation that spends money or deletes data.
- If signal is insufficient, say so.

OUTPUT:
1) Status one-liner
2) What changed
3) Severity + evidence
4) Reversible next step
5) Owner / wait condition

## server_hints.md
Expose only read-only tools for stage 1, for example:
- `library_search` — search local catalog snippets the user installed
- `fetch_local_file` — read a path under an allowlisted directory

Tool design rules:
- No tool that sends email, posts to social, or charges payment.
- No tool that reads `~/.ssh`, `.env`, or browser cookie DBs.
- Arguments must be schema-validated; reject path traversal.
- Log tool calls for the human operator.

Example tool schema (illustrative JSON):
```json
{
  "name": "library_search",
  "description": "Search local BotShelf library snippets",
  "inputSchema": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "query": {"type": "string", "minLength": 1, "maxLength": 200}
    },
    "required": ["query"]
  }
}
```

Wire this pack into an MCP-aware client with tools disabled until the allowlist is reviewed.

Example in

Status paste:
- netlify deploy: ok
- checkout function p95: 1800ms (was 400ms)
- error rate 2.1% (was 0.3%)
Window: last 30m

Example out

Status: checkout latency + errors elevated
Changed: p95 400→1800ms; errors 0.3→2.1%
Severity: warn (not confirmed outage)
Next: check last deploy diff; freeze new deploys if rising
Wait: 15m trend

Model / runtime notes

Protocol-level pack. Prefer read-only tools. Never ship credentials inside MCP configs.
