## Description

Search Datadog monitors (alerting rules) including status, thresholds, and conditions. Query syntax: `tag:env:production`, `type:metric`, `status:Alert`. Tags filter: comma-separated (e.g. `env:prod,team:backend`). After finding a monitor, use **Search Events** to see recent state changes, or **Get Metric Data** to query the underlying metric it tracks. Returns monitor ID, name, type, query, status, and tags. [See the docs](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/monitors/#get-all-monitor-details)

  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(

  },
)

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-monitors",
  arguments: {
    region: "Region",
    query: "Query",
  },
})
```
