List all synthetic monitors (browser and network availability).
AI agents call list_monitors to retrieve information from Dynatrace SaaS MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns data about synthetic monitors without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal risk; the worst case is information disclosure about monitoring configuration, which has low blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_monitors' and description states 'List all synthetic monitors' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution of external actions.
