Bulk activate or deactivate multiple monitors.

<Warning>
  **Destructive · Writes data · Idempotent · Calls external systems.** This tool can modify or delete data. Review the arguments before letting an agent call it.
</Warning>

## Parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `active` | boolean | Yes | true to activate, false to deactivate |
| `monitor_ids` | string | Yes | Comma-separated monitor IDs to toggle |

## Example arguments

Illustrative arguments an agent supplies when calling this tool:

```json
{
  "monitor_ids": "string",
  "active": false
}
```

## Description

```text
Use list_monitors to find IDs. If this fails with HTTP 400, one or more monitor IDs may be invalid or deleted — verify with get_monitor. For a single monitor, edit_monitor active= also works; this is the bulk path.
```
