SAN FRANCISCO—(BUSINESS WIRE)— groundcover, the world’s leading bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC), eBPF and OpenTelemetry (OTel)-native observability platform, today released a major expansion to Agent Mode that lets AI agents act on a team’s observability data across their existing development toolchain.
With groundcover, engineers control agents to make code recommendations, open pull requests, and manage tasks in applications such as Slack, Linear, and GitHub with Connectors. Agent reasoning and execution remain within the customer’s own cloud, while every action is governed by user-level permissions and tied to a specific, authorized user.
June 29, 2026 release adds connectors, customizable agent skills, and admin-level guardrails for existing customers at no additional cost.
Key Features
Connectors: Bring external applications (Claude, Slack, Linear, GitHub, Cursor) into the platform. Agent Mode takes action using the user’s own credentials — recommending code, opening PRs, managing tasks. Remote MCP connectors let external agentic services interface with Agent Mode.
Custom skills: Organizations customize built-in skills and author their own, mapping Agent Mode to team runbooks and operational playbooks.
Agent Mode guardrails: Centralized admin-level MCP authorization. Every execution attributable to a specific user. Admins define engagement patterns.
“Our customers relied on groundcover dashboards to tell them what was happening in their stack, but that was never connected to the context sitting in applications such as Slack or Linear about why,” said Noam Levy, groundcover Field CTO.
“By keeping the agent where the data already lives, admins control which MCP services, connectors, and tools the organization can use,” said Yechezel Rabinovich, CTO and co-founder.
Updates ship automatically to groundcover’s 200+ deployed customers.
groundcover is a cloud native observability platform powered by eBPF, running inside the customer’s cloud.
