One CLI, Two Audiences: How We Built for Agents and Humans

The Checkly CLI is increasingly being used by AI agents to manage monitoring setups, with a trend showing that agents will likely dominate its usage by 2026. The CLI serves as the primary interface for AI agents, enabling them to automatically handle tasks such as monitoring configuration, incident resolution, and outage communication. The integration of Checkly Skills equips agents with the necessary knowledge to perform these tasks efficiently without requiring external documentation, while the CLI's structured output allows agents to access and process monitoring data directly. Guardrails are implemented to ensure safe autonomy, requiring human confirmation before executing critical actions, thus maintaining human oversight in incident management. These features underline the shift towards AI-driven operations within the Checkly ecosystem while ensuring that the system remains robust and manageable for both human and agent users.
