Diagnose a Stopped Channel with the MCP¶
The diagnose_stopped_channel prompt asks a model to find out why a channel stopped or is not processing messages. In Claude Code, with the server added under the name qie, it runs as /qie:diagnose_stopped_channel. Other clients start a prompt in their own way, where they support prompts. Codex does not support prompts, so ask it for the same work in your own words (see Connecting Codex).
Arguments¶
| Argument | Required | Holds |
|---|---|---|
channel |
Yes | The channel's name or id. |
What the model is asked to do¶
- Find the channel, and read its state, queue counts and recent throughput.
- Read the channel's recent log, and the engine log from around the time it stopped.
- Read the channel and its recent changes, to see whether a change lines up with when it stopped.
- Report the most likely cause, the evidence for it, and what it would do about it.
The model does not start, stop or restart the channel until you say so.
