💡 Use Cases
- Self-monitoring — AI agents that monitor their own infrastructure
- DevOps automation — Deploy, restart, and manage services autonomously
- Incident response — Detect and diagnose issues in real-time
- Resource optimization — Analyze usage patterns and suggest cost savings
📋 Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- Linux (most features) / macOS (partial) / Windows (limited)
- Docker (optional — for container monitoring)
- psutil, mcp, docker-py
🔐 Security
- Read-only by design — no kill/rm/create operations exposed
- No root required — runs with user-level permissions
- Sandboxed log access — path traversal protection built in
