# Monte Carlo Root Cause Analysis Skill This skill helps investigate data incidents — freshness delays, volume anomalies, schema changes, field metric drift, and ETL failures — by guiding the agent through a systematic investigation using Monte Carlo's MCP tools. It combines observability metadata with optional direct data querying to find the root cause. > **Monte Carlo tool routing (required):** Always call Monte Carlo MCP tools through this plugin's > bundled server, whose fully-qualified tool names are > `mcp__plugin_mc-agent-toolkit_monte-carlo-mcp__<tool>` (e.g. > `mcp__plugin_mc-agent-toolkit_monte-carlo-mcp__get_alerts`). Bare tool names used in this skill > (`get_alerts`, `search`, `get_table`, …) refer to that bundled server. If the session also has a > separately-configured `monte-carlo-mcp` server, do **not** route to it — it may point at a > different endpoint or credentials. Reference files live next to this skill file. **Use the Read tool** (not MCP resources) to access them: - Investigation playbooks by issue type: `references/<type>-investigation.md` - Data exploration patterns: `references/data-exploration.md` - Intake when no incident ID: `references/intake-no-incident.md` - Common root cause catalog: `references/common-root-causes.md` ## When to activate this skill Activate when the user: - Mentions a Monte Carlo alert, incident, or anomaly - Asks "why is this table stale?" or "why did row count drop?" - Wants to investigate a data quality issue - A...
