For
Developers automating event-triggered checks
Worth noticing
A parked watcher is described as using about 100 KiB, with no process, thread, or socket while waiting.

Field notes

The page lists command line, HTTPS API, and MCP as deployment routes. It says a watcher sees only its URL, selector, condition, and fetched pages; an AI check sees only what changed, and its model gets no tools. Zerowhen describes the service as in private testing.
