Drive Better Stack with governed agents
Incidents move faster than humans can tab-switch. The Better Stack connector is one of 222 executable connectors and gives agents 5 read-only tools, with the credential held in the vault and every call receipted.
What agents can run against Better Stack
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_monitors | List Better Stack Uptime monitors with their current status |
get_monitor | Get one Better Stack Uptime monitor by ID |
list_heartbeats | List Better Stack Uptime heartbeats (cron and background job checks) with their status |
list_incidents | List Better Stack Uptime incidents, optionally filtered to one monitor |
list_monitor_groups | List Better Stack Uptime monitor groups |
Every tool above is read-only. Write surfaces ship only after live testing, and always behind approval gates.
What the Better Stack connector needs
You provide API token from your Better Stack account; Quox sends it as a bearer token. The credential is stored encrypted in the vault and resolved just-in-time, so agents use it without ever seeing it.
Where to get it: Better Stack's own API documentation ↗ covers creating and scoping the credential.
How proven is this?
This connector was blind shape-proven against the real Better Stack API: every endpoint it declares answered measurably differently from a deliberately bogus control request, without any account or credential involved. It is Beta: proven against the live API surface, not yet run with a real credential.
- Credentialed The vault stores, tests and just-in-time resolves its credential; agents never see the secret.
- Read-only It ships read tools only, so there is nothing to approval-gate.
- Agent-owned No dedicated agent owns it yet; the orchestrator can drive it on request.
- Schedulable Not yet exposed in the workflow builder; that integration is on the connector roadmap.
- Evidenced Per-call evidence envelopes are on the roadmap; vault credential use is already receipted.
