Description

  • Python: thresholds keyword, values warning, error, critical
  • R: actions / action_levels keyword, levels warn_at, stop_at, notify_at (but I think maybe the python names also work?)

Step-level values replace global rather than merging (so if warn_at is set at step level but other levels aren't and othr levels are set globally, the other values don't apply). I'm not sure whether that's the same in python, but Claude was confused by it and I think I agree.
