Check Buildkite agents when a delivery metric changes
React to meaningful workload signals with current build capacity data.
Trigger
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Action
List Pipeline Agents
Tool to list connected agents for an organization. use after confirming the organization slug. supports optional filtering and pagination.
Why this helps
A rising count or total can signal pressure before anyone checks whether enough agents are connected.
- Respond to measurable workload shifts
- Keep capacity data current
- Reduce reactive firefighting
