Operations agent
The Operations Agent allows users to ask questions of their Data + AI Observability, their data platform, and take action in Monte Carlo through natural language.
Available Use-cases and Tools
Users can leverage the Operations Agent to answer questions or take actions such as:
- "Are there any alerts assigned to me in the past day?"
- "How's the health status of table X?"
- "What are some trends and patterns in my alerts?"
- "What tables should I add monitors for?"
- "When was my table Y last updated?"
- "what assets and reports would this data issue impact?"
- "Can I deprecate table X?", and many more.
- "Add a comment to X alert."
Operations Agent leverages the following tools:
