## Description

Search monitored infrastructure hosts. Filter by tag (`env:production`), name (`host:web-01`), or partial match. Sort by `cpu`, `iowait`, `load`, `status`, or `apps`. Host names from results can scope queries in **Get Metric Data** (e.g. `avg:system.cpu.user{host:web-01}`), filter logs in **Search Logs** (`host:web-01`), or filter metrics in **Search Metrics**. Max 1000 results. [See the docs](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/hosts/#get-all-hosts-for-your-organization)

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),

    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "datadog-search-hosts",
  arguments: {
    region: "Region",
    filter: "Filter",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**
