Buildkite
Builds failing because agents went offline? Your AI agent checks Buildkite pipeline agent status, verifies API token scopes, and retrieves webhook IP ranges, all within a quick conversation. DevOps teams get infrastructure answers without navigating settings pages or memorizing CLI commands.
Your AI agent taps into Buildkite's REST API to surface agent health, validate credentials, and provide network configuration data when your DevOps team needs it.
Buildkite
How platform engineering, security, and operations teams use AI agents to monitor Buildkite infrastructure, validate credentials, and configure networking through conversation.
An engineer notices builds have been queuing for 15 minutes. They ask the AI Agent 'How many Buildkite agents are online right now?' The agent retrieves the full agent list for the organization, counts connected versus idle agents, and identifies that three of eight agents dropped offline after a network change. The engineer knows the root cause in seconds, not after 10 minutes of dashboard navigation.
Your quarterly security review requires documenting all API token permissions. Your AI Agent retrieves the current Buildkite access token's scope list, compares it against your team's required permissions policy, and flags two scopes that were granted but are no longer needed. The compliance report gets accurate data without manually inspecting each token in the Buildkite settings UI.
DevOps is deploying build infrastructure in a new AWS region with restrictive security groups. Your AI Agent retrieves Buildkite's webhook IP addresses from the Meta endpoint and formats them as CIDR blocks ready for your Terraform configuration. Network setup that required searching documentation and copying IP ranges now happens in a single question-and-answer exchange.

FAQs
The agent calls the List Pipeline Agents endpoint with your organization slug. The response includes each agent's name, hostname, version, IP address, and connection status. Optional filters for hostname, name, and version narrow results. Pagination handles organizations with hundreds of agents.
Yes. The List Pipeline Agents endpoint accepts a version filter parameter. The agent can query for agents not matching your target version, returning only the machines that need attention. This is particularly useful before rolling out agent-level breaking changes.
Tars requires a Buildkite Access Token with read_agents scope at minimum. If you also want token validation capabilities, the token needs the token scope. Generate the token from your Buildkite organization's API Access Tokens page with only the scopes your use case requires.
No. Tars queries Buildkite's REST API in real time. Agent metadata, connection states, and webhook IP addresses are fetched live during the conversation. No build logs, pipeline configurations, or infrastructure data are cached or stored by Tars.
Yes. The Get Meta endpoint returns Buildkite's webhook delivery IP addresses as a list of CIDR blocks. Your agent can present these in any format your network team needs, whether for AWS security groups, GCP firewall rules, or on-premise network configurations.
The dashboard requires logging in, navigating to your organization's agents page, and manually filtering results. Tars lets engineers ask 'Which agents are offline?' or 'Show me agents running version 3.x' in natural language and get instant answers without switching tools or browser tabs.
The List Pipeline Agents endpoint supports pagination with page and per_page parameters. The agent automatically handles paginated responses, fetching results in batches of up to 100 and presenting a consolidated summary. Large-scale infrastructure monitoring works just as well as small setups.
In your Tars dashboard, navigate to Tools and select Buildkite. Enter your Buildkite Access Token. Once connected, attach the tool to your AI Agent Gambit. The agent will automatically query Buildkite when team members ask about agent status, token scopes, or webhook configurations.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
