- **List probe locations** — List the probe locations (cities/regions) a monitor can run from — their ids are what create-monitor's `locations` expects. Call this to pick where to check fro

- **Create a monitor** — Start watching something on the user's behalf. Provide the target and monitor type — call describe-monitor-types first for exact type ids, target formats and co
- **Acknowledge or resolve an incident** — Take ownership of an active incident: acknowledge it (I'm on it — pauses repeat notifications) or resolve it. Requires the write scope. Resolve is accepted asyn
- **Schedule or manage maintenance windows** — Suppress alerts and exclude downtime during planned work — useful for an agent doing a deploy that would otherwise trip monitoring. action: create (default), li
