Monitor relevance

Optional filtering and saved matching results

Use relevance_enabled, relevance_prompt and exclusions on creation or update. Monitor reads return the settings; findings return retained matches and evidence; runs show processing and undecided counts. Dashboard, API and MCP share the same backend. Follow the setup and pagination examples, uncertainty guide or Claude/MCP example.

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json
{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "monitors",
  "endpoint": "/v1/monitors/runs",
  "data": {
    "items": [],
    "count": 0,
    "cursor": null,
    "has_more": false
  },
  "credits_used": 0,
  "credits_remaining": 99,
  "request_id": "req_…",
  "cached": false

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Core response fields reviewed from the public response shaper. Fields vary by requested options; additive fields remain allowed.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
