Logs, metrics, monitors, dashboards, APM, and on-call.

Tools (61):

Tool	Description
`datadogAggregateLogs`	Aggregate logs server-side without downloading raw events: counts, unique values, percentiles, stats, grouped breakdowns, or timeseries. Use datadogSearchLogs only when individual messages are needed.
`datadogSearchLogs`	Search individual log messages with a query and millisecond time range. List indexes with datadogListLogIndexes first — a wrong or missing index silently hides logs. Paginate with the returned nextLogId.
`datadogListLogIndexes`	List log index names and configs. Call before datadogSearchLogs to pick the right index and avoid hidden results or excess usage.
`datadogListMetrics`	Discover actively reporting metric names since a timestamp, optionally filtered by host or tags. Use before datadogQueryMetrics to find exact names.
`datadogQueryMetrics`	Query timeseries data with a metrics query string over a UTC seconds range (max 1 year). Use datadogListMetrics first to confirm names; millisecond timestamps silently return empty series.
`datadogSubmitMetrics`	Submit custom gauge/rate/count series (KPIs, app metrics). Points default to the current time when timestamp is omitted.
`datadogCreateMonitor`	Create a monitor with alerting thresholds and notifications. The query syntax must match the monitor type exactly or creation fails.
`datadogGetMonitor`	Get a monitor by ID with state, config, and optionally downtimes. Use datadogListMonitors to discover IDs.
`datadogListMonitors`	List monitors with name/tag/state filters. Set page and page_size together to paginate (pages start at 0); omit both for all monitors.
`datadogUpdateMonitor`	Update a monitor; only provided fields change. Confirm query/type changes with the user first.
`datadogDeleteMonitor`	Permanently delete a monitor. Irreversible — confirm with the user first.
`datadogMuteMonitor`	Mute a monitor to silence alerts during maintenance or deployments. Without end it stays muted until manually unmuted.
`datadogUnmuteMonitor`	Unmute a monitor so alerting resumes immediately. Only unmute after maintenance or the issue is fully resolved to avoid alert storms.
`datadogCreateDowntime`	Create a downtime to suppress alerts during maintenance or deployments. Scope to hosts, services, tags, or a monitor ID.
`datadogCreateDashboard`	Create a dashboard with widgets for unified monitoring views. For log/APM/RUM widget queries keep group_by inside the query object, not at request level.
`datadogGetDashboard`	Get a dashboard by ID with widgets, layout, and template variables. Keep reflow_type and pause_auto_refresh from the response for round-trip updates.
`datadogUpdateDashboard`	Update a dashboard; only provided fields change. Omit reflow_type and pause_auto_refresh to preserve existing values.
`datadogDeleteDashboard`	Permanently delete a dashboard. Irreversible — confirm with the user first.
`datadogListDashboards`	List dashboards with shared/deleted filters and start/count pagination.
`datadogCreateEvent`	Post an event for deployments, outages, or config changes. Markdown is supported in text.
`datadogListEvents`	List events in a seconds-epoch window. Start broad (few filters, narrow range) and narrow incrementally — combined filters on wide ranges can return empty or huge results.
`datadogListHosts`	List infrastructure hosts with metrics, tags, and status. Filter by tag query and sort by status, name, cpu, iowait, or load.
`datadogGetHostTags`	Get all tags for a host, optionally filtered by source (users, chef, puppet, aws, datadog).
`datadogListAllTags`	List all tags in use across the organization, optionally filtered by source. Use to discover tag keys for filters.
`datadogUpdateHostTags`	Replace all tags from one source on a host (defaults to users source). This overwrites — include the full desired tag set.
`datadogListApmServices`	List APM services for an environment with performance stats. Use env "*" for all environments. Requires APM instrumentation.
`datadogSearchTraces`	Search distributed traces for incident investigation and bottleneck analysis. Bound the window, include env and service, and prefix custom attributes with @. Paginate with page.cursor.
`datadogSearchSpansAnalytics`	Aggregate span data (error rates, latency patterns) grouped by facets. The body must be a valid aggregate_request — when filter/compute cannot satisfy the schema, use datadogSearchTraces instead.
`datadogCreateSyntheticApiTest`	Create a synthetic API test (http/ssl/tcp/dns/icmp) that monitors an endpoint from worldwide locations. Get location IDs from datadogGetSyntheticsLocations first.
`datadogListSynthetics`	List synthetic tests with client-side tag/location filtering and limit/offset pagination.
`datadogGetSyntheticsLocations`	List public and private synthetic locations. Use the IDs when creating synthetic tests.
`datadogListIncidents`	List incidents with state/severity/timeline data. Filter active incidents with filter_query state:active.
`datadogCreateSlo`	Create a metric or monitor SLO with target thresholds. Metric SLOs need numerator/denominator queries; monitor SLOs need monitor IDs.
`datadogListSlos`	List SLOs with tag, name/description, and limit/offset filters.
`datadogListUsers`	List organization users with roles and access levels. Paginate with page_size/page_number.
`datadogListRoles`	List organization roles (permission sets) with member counts. Filter by partial name match.
`datadogGetUsageSummary`	Get monthly billable usage (hosts, containers, API calls, logs) for cost monitoring. Empty payloads for inactive months are expected, not errors.
`datadogListApiKeys`	List API key metadata (names, owners, last-used) for auditing and rotation planning. Handle output securely — restrict to authorized personnel.
`datadogListAwsIntegrations`	List configured AWS account integrations with roles and collection settings. Filter by account ID or IAM role name. Use to verify monitoring coverage.
`datadogCreateWebhook`	Register a named HTTPS destination for monitor alerts. Monitors must reference the webhook by name in their message/notification settings to deliver alerts.
`datadogCreateEscalationPolicy`	Create an On-Call escalation policy with steps (targets, assignment, timeouts), retries, and team links.
`datadogGetEscalationPolicy`	Get an On-Call escalation policy by ID with steps and team links.
`datadogUpdateEscalationPolicy`	Update an On-Call escalation policy by ID. The data object must include the policy id and full attributes.
`datadogDeleteEscalationPolicy`	Delete an On-Call escalation policy by ID. Irreversible — confirm with the user first.
`datadogCreateSchedule`	Create an On-Call schedule with rotation layers (members, intervals, time restrictions) and team links.
`datadogGetSchedule`	Get an On-Call schedule by ID with layers and team links.
`datadogUpdateSchedule`	Update an On-Call schedule by ID. The data object must include the schedule id and full attributes.
`datadogDeleteSchedule`	Delete an On-Call schedule by ID. Irreversible — confirm with the user first.
`datadogGetScheduledOnCallUser`	Get the currently scheduled on-call user for a schedule. Use during incidents to find who to page.
`datadogCreateNotificationChannel`	Create an email or phone notification channel for a user (E.164 for phone, address+formats for email).
`datadogGetNotificationChannel`	Get one notification channel for a user by channel ID.
`datadogListNotificationChannels`	List all notification channels configured for a user.
`datadogDeleteNotificationChannel`	Delete a user notification channel. Irreversible — confirm with the user first.
`datadogCreateNotificationRule`	Create a notification rule for a user: urgency category, delay, and the channel it routes to.
`datadogGetNotificationRule`	Get one notification rule for a user by rule ID.
`datadogListNotificationRules`	List all notification rules configured for a user.
`datadogUpdateNotificationRule`	Update a user notification rule by ID (category, delay, channel).
`datadogDeleteNotificationRule`	Delete a user notification rule. Irreversible — confirm with the user first.
`datadogGetTeamOnCallUsers`	Get the current on-call users for an On-Call team. Use during incidents to find responders.
`datadogGetTeamRoutingRules`	Get the On-Call routing rules configured for a team.
`datadogSetTeamRoutingRules`	Replace the On-Call routing rules for a team. This overwrites all existing rules — confirm with the user first.
