Selected for the next certification batch. Live verification has not yet started. The page shows what we intend to investigate, not what we already read.

Intended capabilities

What we want to monitor

Documentation feasibility verdict: LIMITED. GET /v1/metrics/bandwidth exposes service time series, but current monthly Free instance hours and pipeline minutes remain dashboard-only, and bandwidth is not documented as the workspace billing rollup. Render uses a broad account API key; no read-only scope is documented.

How to connect
