HTTP API connector An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go to https://monitoring.googleapis.com and carry an OAuth 2.0 token obtained with Sign in with Google on the cloud edition, or an API key or custom header on a self-hosted installation, which offers no sign-in flow.

Give an agent the Google Cloud Monitoring skill

Once Google Cloud Monitoring is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and choose Google Cloud Monitoring. The skill panel lists the Google Cloud Monitoring actions by group. Enable only the groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person’s sign-off under These actions need approval. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see Skills.
