Instructions for checking the health, performance, logs, and resource usage of services hosted on Render.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to verify deployments, inspect logs and metrics, monitor resource use, and investigate application or database problems.
Why use it?
They help diagnose slow, unhealthy, or failed deployments with service status and runtime information.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

render-monitor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Monitor Render Services

Real-time monitoring of Render services including health checks, performance metrics, and logs.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when users want to:

  • Check if services are healthy
  • View performance metrics
  • Monitor logs
  • Verify a deployment is working
  • Investigate slow performance
  • Check database health

Prerequisites

MCP tools (preferred): Test with list_services() - provides structured data

CLI (fallback): render --version - use if MCP tools unavailable

Authentication: If you installed the Render plugin (Cursor, Codex, Claude Code), it provides OAuth for MCP — complete the OAuth prompt. For manual MCP clients, use a Render API key. For CLI, verify with render whoami -o json.

Workspace: get_selected_workspace() or render workspace current -o json

Note: MCP tools require the Render MCP server. If unavailable, use the CLI for status and logs; metrics and database queries require MCP.

MCP Setup

If list_services() fails, set up the Render MCP server. For detailed per-tool walkthroughs, see render-mcp.

Plugin setup: If the Render plugin is installed, complete Render OAuth when prompted, then reload your tool and retry list_services().

Manual MCP setup: Add the Render MCP server to your AI tool's MCP config:

  • URL: https://mcp.render.com/mcp
  • Auth header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>
  • API key: https://dashboard.render.com/u/*/settings#api-keys

After configuring, restart your tool and retry list_services(). Then set your workspace with list_workspaces() / get_selected_workspace().


Quick Health Check

Run these 5 checks to assess service health:

# 1. Check service status
list_services()

# 2. Check latest deploy
list_deploys(serviceId: "<service-id>", limit: 1)

# 3. Check for errors
list_logs(resource: ["<service-id>"], level: ["error"], limit: 20)

# 4. Check resource usage
get_metrics(resourceId: "<service-id>", metricTypes: ["cpu_usage", "memory_usage"])

# 5. Check latency
get_metrics(resourceId: "<service-id>", metricTypes: ["http_latency"], httpLatencyQuantile: 0.95)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
