What is Checkly?

Checkly is wiring its CLI into the agent stack while Rocky AI pushes deeper into incident debugging.

Checkly is shipping on two coordinated tracks. The agent track exposes the full Checkly CLI as agent-callable skills with discover/read/write commands and a Copy-prompt UX in the dashboard, so coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can stand up monitoring directly. The platform track keeps cadence with monthly digests, a fresh runtime (Playwright 1.58.2, Node 24.13.1, new packages), ICMP monitors across plans, monorepo-aware Playwright Check Suites, and a rewritten Playwright reporter.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet ships Custom Component Library and tightens enterprise controls on path to AI-native low-code.

ToolJet is running two parallel tracks: an LTS branch delivering incremental reliability and plan-level limit expansions, and a beta track already carrying LLM provider switching, MCP bundled into the EE image, Personal Access Tokens, and 2FA. The gap between beta and stable is where the platform's real direction lives — AI builder + enterprise security controls converging into a single product.

Checkly is wiring its CLI into the agent stack while Rocky AI pushes deeper into incident debugging.

◆ Current state

Checkly is shipping on two coordinated tracks. The agent track exposes the full Checkly CLI as agent-callable skills with discover/read/write commands and a Copy-prompt UX in the dashboard, so coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can stand up monitoring directly. The platform track keeps cadence with monthly digests, a fresh runtime (Playwright 1.58.2, Node 24.13.1, new packages), ICMP monitors across plans, monorepo-aware Playwright Check Suites, and a rewritten Playwright reporter.

◆ Where it's heading

The synthetic-monitoring product is being repackaged as something agents can configure, run, and triage. Rocky AI moved from preview to GA, then started delivering Root Cause Analysis directly into Slack/Teams/email instead of just the app. The CLI's skills system means agents can author and modify monitoring without a human in the loop. Underneath, the runtime and Playwright tooling continues to mature so the agent flows have something solid to call into.

◆ Prediction

Expect Checkly to keep extending Rocky AI into more remediation-adjacent territory — proposed fixes, PR drafts, on-call workflow integrations — and to push the CLI's agent skills toward broader agent ecosystems (more MCP coverage, more first-class supported agents). The monthly digest cadence is unlikely to change.

ToolJet ships Custom Component Library and tightens enterprise controls on path to AI-native low-code.

◆ Current state

ToolJet is running two parallel tracks: an LTS branch delivering incremental reliability and plan-level limit expansions, and a beta track already carrying LLM provider switching, MCP bundled into the EE image, Personal Access Tokens, and 2FA. The gap between beta and stable is where the platform's real direction lives — AI builder + enterprise security controls converging into a single product.

◆ Where it's heading

The consolidation of tooljet-mcp into the EE production image is the clearest signal: ToolJet is treating MCP as a first-class integration layer, not an experiment. PATs threading through groups, workflows, plugins, and MCP auth suggest an API-first model is being built on top of the visual layer. The Custom Component Library core gives power users the extensibility path that previously required forking the platform.

◆ Prediction

LLM provider switching and MCP-based datasource connectivity will stabilize to LTS within the next few releases — both are already merged in EE. Once stable, these features position ToolJet against agentic-workflow tools as much as against no-code competitors.
