Tool Health

All tools operational, no incidents in the last 24h (vs 2 yesterday)

Why this matters · Provider outages and degradations cause retry storms upstream. Tracking the 7-day shape catches flapping providers before they page you.

Tool health, 7 days ending 2026-06-14: daily 04:00 UTC snapshot per tool. Green operational, amber degraded, red outage, grey no data.

Benchmark movers
