 # Changelog
 
+## 1.4.0 (2026-09-29)
+
+### Added
+- Skill: `/tinyfish:monitor` — create, run, pause, resume, and cancel recurring monitors on a URL or a search topic.
+- Skill: `/tinyfish:agent` documents the Browser Context Profile sign-in flow, `proxy_config`, `webhook_url`, and `close_browser_session`.
+- Skill: `/tinyfish:search` documents `include_domains`, `exclude_domains`, `pub_year_min`, and `pub_year_max`; `/tinyfish:fetch` documents `page_metadata` and `ttl`.
+
+### Changed
+- Skill descriptions for `agent`, `fetch`, and `search`, and the plugin description, now use the phrasing people search with.
+- Billing copy: automation and monitor checks draw on the TinyFish wallet, and new users get $8 in sign-up credits; the 600-credit allowance is gone.
+
+### Removed
+- Skill: `/tinyfish:agent` no longer mentions `batch_create`, `get_steps`, or `agent_config`, none of which the MCP server exposes; passing `agent_config` was rejected.
+- Skill: `/tinyfish:fetch` examples now pass `links`, `image_links`, and `page_metadata`, which the server's schema requires.

+- If a run returns an insufficient-credits or wallet message, relay the top-up link from the error to the user as a clickable link — do not silently fall back to a weaker tool or claim you can't browse the web. `get_wallet` shows the balance.

+
+Creating a monitor returns its baseline result immediately. Before creating one, tell the user the schedule and its cost: an hourly schedule is 24 checks a day, about $0.12/day.
+
+## Managing monitors
+
+- `list_monitors()` — ids, type, target, schedule, status
+- `get_monitor(monitor_id)` — config, schedule, `status`, and `last_error`; it does not return check results
+- `run_monitor(monitor_id)` — check once now and return the result (billed like any check)
+- `pause_monitor(monitor_id)` / `resume_monitor(monitor_id)` — stop and restart the schedule
+- `cancel_monitor(monitor_id)` — delete it; only when the user explicitly asks
+
+## Notes
+
+- Scheduled results go only to `webhook_url`, so suggest one when the user wants alerts. Don't poll in a loop; `run_monitor` is the only way to see a result here.
+- A `status` of `failed` comes with `last_error`; relay it rather than assuming the monitor is running.
+- Fetch monitors need a public URL. For a page behind a login, use `/tinyfish:agent` for a one-off check.
+- To read a page once, use `/tinyfish:fetch`; a monitor is only for watching it over time.
