Zapier status
Three modes for monitoring and maintaining a Zapier MCP setup. Determine the mode from context, or ask if unclear.
First, detect the server mode: If list_enabled_zapier_actions is available, the user is on Agentic mode. Otherwise, the user is on Classic mode where each configured action is its own MCP tool (e.g., slack_send_channel_message, gmail_find_email).
Mode 1: Health check
Trigger: "check my tools", "zapier status", "is everything working?", or any general status inquiry.
A quick dashboard view of the current state.
