It addresses the 'manual correlation bottleneck' in incident response by letting LLMs query metrics (PromQL), traces (TraceQL), and logs (LogQL) through natural language. Key design principles include a discovery-first model (requiring list_metrics before querying), strict cardinality guardrails via Thanos TSDB status endpoints, adaptive toolset scoping via --toolsets flag, and stateless horizontal scalability. The goal is to reduce MTTR by automating signal correlation, democratize complex query languages for non-experts, and enable AI agents to behave like experienced SREs during incident triage. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
