| name | context-monitor |
| description | Create and manage recurring website-change monitors with Context.dev. Use when the user wants ongoing tracking, scheduled checks, alerts, change history, monitor runs, or asks to watch a page or site for future changes rather than inspect it once. |
Monitor website changes
Use monitors only for recurring work. For a one-time check, scrape or crawl instead.
Workflow
- Confirm the target, monitoring goal, schedule, and desired notification behavior.
- Use
create-monitor only after the user clearly asks to create ongoing monitoring. Creation immediately queues the initial baseline.
- Do not call
run-monitor-now immediately after creation unless the user asks for an additional run.
- Inspect results with
list-monitor-runs, get-monitor-run, list-monitor-changes, list-changes, or get-change.
- Use
list-monitor-credit-usage when the user asks about monitor consumption.
Use list-monitors and get-monitor for inspection. update-monitor, delete-monitor, and run-monitor-now modify external state; execute them only when the user explicitly requests that action. Prefer pausing through update-monitor over deletion when the user only wants checks temporarily stopped.
