Monte Carlo Asset Health Skill

This skill checks the health of a data asset using Monte Carlo's observability platform. It produces a structured health report covering freshness, alerts, monitoring coverage, importance, and upstream dependency health.

Monte Carlo tool routing (required): Always call Monte Carlo MCP tools through this plugin's bundled server, whose fully-qualified tool names are mcp__plugin_mc-agent-toolkit_monte-carlo-mcp__<tool> (e.g. mcp__plugin_mc-agent-toolkit_monte-carlo-mcp__get_alerts). Bare tool names used in this skill (get_alerts, search, get_table, …) refer to that bundled server. If the session also has a separately-configured monte-carlo-mcp server, do not route to it — it may point at a different endpoint or credentials.

REQUIRED: Read reference files before executing

You MUST read both reference files using the Read tool before making any MCP tool calls. These files are the source of truth for tool calls, parameters, and response interpretation. This file only defines when to activate and how to format the output.

1. references/workflows.md (relative to this file) — exact tool calls, phases, and execution order
2. references/parameters.md (relative to this file) — parameter conventions and field details

Do NOT make any MCP tool calls until you have read both files.

When to activate this skill

Activate when the user:

• Asks about health: "how is table X doing?", "check health of X", "is X healthy?"
• Asks about status: "what's the status of X?", "status of orders table"
• Asks to check on a table: "check on X table", "check on X"
• Asks about reliability, freshness, or quality of a specific asset
• References a table in context of incident triage or change planning

When NOT to activate this skill

• Profiling or exploring table data (row counts, column stats, distributions) → use explore-table
• Creating or suggesting monitors → use monitoring-advisor
• Active incident triage (investigating root cause of a firing alert) → use prevent skill Workflow 3

Health report format

CRITICAL: Only report data returned by the tools defined in references/workflows.md. Do NOT call additional tools, do NOT infer or fabricate metrics. Each row below specifies exactly which tool provides its value.

All sections (Active Alerts, Monitors, Upstream Issues, Recommendations) must always appear with their heading. Never omit a section — if there is no data, show the empty-state text defined below.

Never use emoji shortcodes (like :warning: or :arrow_up:). Use Unicode emoji characters directly (like ⚠️) or plain text. Shortcodes render as raw text in the terminal.

Always display URLs as bare URLs, never as markdown links (e.g., [text](https://github.com/monte-carlo-data/mc-agent-toolkit/tree/main/skills/asset-health/url)).

{MC_WEBAPP_URL} appears throughout this template. Every occurrence must be replaced with the actual value returned by calling get_mc_webapp_url(). Never hardcode or guess this URL — it varies by environment.
