manage-monitor-groups

manage-monitor-groups is a skill for Claude Code from uptimerobot/ai. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,710 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for organizing UptimeRobot monitors using tags or monitor groups. UptimeRobot is a service that checks whether websites and other services are running.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for choosing an organization method, tagging monitors, and placing monitors into groups for status-page organization.
Why use it?
It explains when to use flexible tags and when to use monitor groups, including the limitation that group membership cannot be read back through the available tools.

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

manage-monitor-groups 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manage monitor groups

Preflight — read first. If you cannot see any uptimerobot:* MCP tools in your tool list, invoke the uptimerobot:setup skill before doing anything else. Do not tell the user the MCP is misconfigured — setup's Step 0 detects the common case (server connected, tools loaded after session start) and resolves it without re-keying.

UptimeRobot has two organizing mechanisms and they aren't interchangeable:

  • Tags (tagNames on a monitor, discovered via list-tags) — free-form, many-per-monitor, no fixed ID, changeable any time via update-monitor.
  • Monitor groups (create-monitor-group / update-monitor-group / get-monitor-group / list-monitor-groups, requires the monitor-groups plan feature) — one-per-monitor, has its own numeric ID, shows as a visual grouping on status pages.

Use this skill when the user says "organize my monitors", "put these into a group", "what should I tag this", or "set up groups for the status page".

The membership-is-invisible gotcha (read this first)

Group membership cannot be read back through any tool. create-monitor-group and update-monitor-group accept monitorIds/groupIds on write, but the response only ever contains id, name, createdAt, updatedAt — no monitor list. get-monitor-group and list-monitor-groups return the same shape. get-monitor-details on a monitor doesn't report a groupId either. There is currently no way to ask "which monitors are in this group" or "which group is this monitor in" over MCP — the dashboard is the only place to see it.

Practical consequences:

  • If you assign monitors to a group, track the IDs yourself (chat context or a note) — none of create-monitor-group, update-monitor-group, get-monitor-group, or list-monitor-groups will confirm it back to you directly.
  • Don't tell the user "group X contains monitors A, B, C" unless you were the one who just set that exact membership and haven't lost track of it.
  • This is a strong practical reason to prefer tags over groups: get-monitor-details does return tags for a monitor, so tag membership is always directly verifiable, unlike group membership.
