      intent: Validate a monitor without creating it
      effect: read
      questions:
      - Can I check whether a monitor query is valid before I create it?
      - What errors come back when a monitor's type or options are wrong?
      instructions:
      - text: Validate a {type} monitor named {name} with query {query} and message {message}.
        slots:
          type: requestBody.type
          name: requestBody.name
          query: requestBody.query
          message: requestBody.message
      - text: Dry-run monitor {name} of type {type} using query {query}, message {message} and options {options}.
        slots:
          name: requestBody.name
          type: requestBody.type
