Watchdog – OpenClaw Skill

What does this skill do?

Connects your AI agent with the Watch.dog platform to:

  • 🔭 Actively monitor websites, APIs, IPs, and ports (HTTP, Keyword, Ping)
  • 🫀 Watch scheduled tasks (cron jobs, backups, scripts) through Passive Watchdogs (Heartbeats)
  • 📊 Check the status of your infrastructure in real-time
  • Monitor statuses are interpreted as follows:
    • 0: Down (Offline)
    • 1: Up (Online)
    • 2 or null: New (New/Pending)
  • 🗑️ Manage resources (Pause, Resume, Delete)
  • 🌐 Public Status Pages (Tracker Pages)

When to activate this skill

Use it when the user:

  • Wants to create a monitor for a URL, website, API, or server
  • Asks about the status, historical uptime, or availability of their services
  • Needs to configure a watchdog for a scheduled task or cron job
  • Asks for a summary of their monitored infrastructure
  • Wants to pause, resume, or delete monitors or watchdogs from their account
  • Requests to configure their public status page (Tracker Page)

Required Configuration

Create a .env file in this folder with:

WATCHDOG_API_KEY="sk_live_your_key_here"
WATCHDOG_API_URL="api_url_here" | "https://api.watch.dog/api/mcp_server.php"

If you don't have an API Key, create one in your dashboard at watch.dog.

Clarification about Intervals

  • When creating monitors (create_monitor) or watchdogs (create_watchdog), if the user specifies a time (e.g. "every 5 minutes"), always pass the exact value in seconds (e.g. 300).
  • Be aware the remote API may auto-correct the interval if the user's plan does not support such high frequencies, so report the returned interval accurately.
