About this skill
What it does. Queries the live Google Cloud Monitoring list_metric_descriptors API for each service prefix, following pagination, then filters descriptors locally by metric terms and resource labels. It returns grouped Markdown tables with metric type, description, kind, value type, unit and monitored resource types.
When to use it. Use it to discover metrics for Google Cloud services such as Compute Engine, Spanner, BigQuery or Cloud Run. A confirmed project ID is required; failed API calls trigger retries or a public-documentation fallback with its limitations reported.
