description: >-
  Monte Carlo is a data and AI observability platform that monitors data
  warehouses, lakes, and pipelines for freshness, volume, schema, and quality
  anomalies, helping data teams detect, resolve, and prevent data downtime
  across Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, and other modern data
  stack tools. Monte Carlo exposes a GraphQL API at
  https://api.getmontecarlo.com/graphql used for programmatic access to
  monitors, incidents, lineage, assets, alerts, custom rules, and lake/metastore
  integrations, with a supporting Python SDK and CLI (pycarlo / montecarlo).
  Authentication uses an API Key ID and Token pair sent via headers.
