# Observability on Auto-Pilot

Most attempts to use agents for monitoring fail for the same reason: the brief is too vague. "Monitor and fix" is not a job description. An expert needs a defined scope, the right data sources, and a clear format for what they report back.

We shipped a few things to make this even more powerful with Supabase's AI tooling.

## Hire an agent

The [Hire an agent](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/observability/automate-with-agents) guide defines four roles, each with a prepared prompt and setup instructions for Claude Routines, Codex scheduled tasks, or Cursor Automations:

- **Health** — API and Auth error rates, connection pressure, instance state
- **Security** — Security Advisor findings, RLS gaps, Auth 4xx patterns
- **Performance** — slow queries, lock waits, long-running sessions, Performance Advisor
- **Capacity** — request, error, storage, and connection growth against baselines

Each prompt scopes the agent to a specific job, runs across a fresh context, and routes findings through your existing integrations — Linear, Slack, wherever your team tracks work. Copy the prompt as-is or adapt it. It runs in any environment that supports MCP, not just the ones listed.

## The Supabase plugin

The [MCP server](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/ai-tools/mcp) already covers a broad range of Supabase tooling — database management, debugging, Edge Functions, branching, and more. A new `query_logs` tool extends that with structured access to logs across all services: API, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, and Postgres. Everything you'd debug with a SQL query against your instance, your agent can now reach through MCP.

The [agent skills](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/ai-tools/ai-skills) pair with that data: they teach agents how to use Supabase correctly, pulling from a docs structure rebuilt so agents find the right material reliably. More knowledge on what the data means and where to look.

Both are part of the [Supabase plugin](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/ai-tools/plugins) — the [MCP server](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/ai-tools/mcp) and skills bundled for a single install.

## Get started

Read the [Hire an agent guide](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/observability/automate-with-agents), pick a role, and copy the prepared prompt into your environment of choice. To use the full Supabase toolset, install the plugin from the [AI tools page](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/ai-tools/plugins).
