apiwatch
Is this model or API still safe to call? Retirement and breaking change dates, with the fix.
Should I use this
Quality & Safety
A
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.
Context Cost
~2,357Tokens (tool definitions)
~4.4 KBTypical response size
Moderate attention impact (1.84% of 128k context)
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

🟢check_model(model)
Look up one AI model id (for example gpt-4o-2024-05-13 or claude-sonnet-4-5) in apiwatch's reviewed feed of vendor changes before you use it in code. Returns a one line answer (when it stops working, changes behavior, or its deprecation key date) and each matching record with the date, what to do and the replacement, and links to the record and the vendor's source. "No record" means apiwatch has no record for it, not that it is safe. Records that apply only in some repos or files say so in scope.

}🟢check_identifiers(identifiers)
Look up many identifiers at once before shipping code: model ids, API endpoints (/v1/assistants), MCP tool names, SDK methods or field names. For each one, a one line answer and the ids of matching records, plus the records themselves. A record scoped to some code (for example only repos that depend on a given SDK major version) is returned with that scope spelled out, never as an unconditional hit. Max 100 identifiers.

}🟢list_upcoming(days, vendor)
List the dated changes in apiwatch's feed from today forward, soonest first: model retirements, breaking API changes, silent behavior changes and deprecation key dates. Use it to plan migrations. Optionally limit to the next N days (default 90, max 365) or one vendor. Max 50 records.
