## TL;DR

Status pages and incident feeds help agents distinguish a local bug from an upstream outage or degraded dependency.

## Core Explanation

When an agent investigates failing tests, API timeouts, webhook delivery gaps, or deployment errors, service status is a first-class evidence source. A status feed can show whether an upstream dependency is degraded, which region or component is affected, and whether an incident is already acknowledged.

Agents should treat status pages as live data. A historical article can describe the pattern, but a real incident decision requires fetching current provider status and correlating it with local timestamps, region, and account-specific health events.
