API operations

Overview

What you can achieve

Capabilities are grouped around merchant outcomes, not API terminology.

Run operations

Monitor orders, fulfilment, delivery and settlement.

Protect revenue

Find failures, leaks and risks before they cost sales.

Control risk and change

Keep tracking, access and change under governed control.

Catalogue quality

Identify missing, inconsistent or outdated product data.

Customer experience

Find storefront, speed, accessibility and journey problems.

From connection to verified outcome

The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

1. Connect

   Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.

2. Monitor

   Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.

3. Detect

   Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.

4. Recommend

   Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.

5. Approve

   You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.

6. Execute

   Apply through governed connector operations.

7. Verify

   Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt.

No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls.

Monitor (14)

Monitor performance

14 performance signals. Open an outcome to see its signals and how each one alerts. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system.

Run operations (7 signals)

Signal	Alert behaviour	What it tracks
Database File Size (MB)	Watch only	PRAGMA page_count × PRAGMA page_size, in MB.
Foreign-Key Violations	Merchant rule	Rows returned by PRAGMA foreign_key_check - orphaned child rows when foreign keys are enforced.
Fragmentation (Free-Page %)	Alert band 70 / 90	PRAGMA freelist_count / PRAGMA page_count. SQLite-distinctive - high freelist means the file should be VACUUMed to reclaim space.
Hot Queries Doing Full Table SCAN	Alert band 2 / 10	Sampled hot queries whose EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN reports SCAN TABLE - a missing index. SQLite-distinctive.
Large Tables With No Usable Index	Merchant rule	Tables >10k rows from sqlite_schema with no index on common WHERE / JOIN columns.
WAL File Ballooning Without Checkpoint	Merchant rule	Alerts for WAL File Ballooning Without Checkpoint.
WAL File Size (MB)	Merchant rule	WAL frame count × page_size from PRAGMA wal_checkpoint. SQLite-distinctive - a ballooning WAL means a reader is holding back the checkpoint.

Protect revenue (3 signals)

Signal	Alert behaviour	What it tracks
Integrity Check Failed (corruption detected)	Merchant rule	Alerts for Integrity Check Failed (corruption detected).
SQLite Table Rows vs Ecom Catalog Count	Merchant rule	SQLite-distinctive XC - many apps cache the product / inventory catalog in a local SQLite file; row drift = sync failure.
Writer-Lock Contention During Checkout Window (5m)	Merchant rule	Writer-Lock Contention During Checkout Window (5m), broken down by row.

Control risk and change (3 signals)

Signal	Alert behaviour	What it tracks
Integrity Check Status	Merchant rule	PRAGMA integrity_check - anything other than a single ‘ok’ row indicates B-tree / page corruption.
Last Backup / VACUUM Snapshot (hours ago)	Alert band 24 / 72	Most recent Online-Backup-API copy, VACUUM INTO snapshot, or filesystem snapshot timestamp.
SQLite File Health Score	Merchant rule	Composite of integrity, fragmentation, WAL state, and index coverage.

Catalogue quality (1 signals)

Signal	Alert behaviour	What it tracks
SQLITE_BUSY / Lock Contention (5m)	Merchant rule	Count of SQLITE_BUSY / SQLITE_LOCKED returns on the single writer lock - a long write txn starving readers.

Audit risks and opportunities

A fix status appears only where the action, inputs, approval, verification and recovery controls are mapped. Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail.

Disk usage above 90%

Severity critical · Outcome Run operations · Fix status Report only

A database that runs out of disk stops accepting writes entirely, which for most stores means orders, inventory updates and customer records stop being saved, not just that the database gets slower. There is very little runway left at 90%.

Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps.

Reference: DB-CAP-002

Query error rate above 1% in last 5 minutes

Severity critical · Outcome Run operations · Fix status Report only

More than 1 in 100 queries is failing right now. Depending on what those queries do, this can mean orders not saving, pages failing to load product or customer data, or background jobs silently dropping work, and a rate this high in a 5-minute window is an active incident, not background noise.

Reference: DB-ERR-001

Last successful backup older than 72 hours

Severity high · Outcome Run operations · Fix status Report only

If something goes wrong with this database right now, the most recent point it can be restored to is over 3 days old. Every order, customer record and inventory change since that backup would be unrecoverable in a real incident, not just delayed.

Reference: DB-BAK-001

p95 query latency above 200ms sustained 15m

Severity high · Outcome Customer experience · Fix status Report only

One in twenty queries against this database is taking over 200ms, sustained for at least 15 minutes, not a brief spike. Any storefront page, checkout step or order sync that depends on this database inherits that slowness directly, and a sustained p95 this high is usually already visible to customer

Build your own automated fixes

Turn any finding into an automated fix with a Vortex IQ workflow: over 13,000 read and write operations across more than 200 connectors are available as building blocks, with approval, verification and rollback on every change.

Automate

Automate approved work

Vortex IQ is integrated with 17 read and 0 write operations across dbstats, explain query plans, pragma autovacuums, pragma compileoptions, pragma foreignkeychecks, pragma freelistcounts on SQLite. Combine them with anything from the over 13,000 operations across more than 200 connectors to automate the work in your own words.

Changes follow your configured approval policy: the target, proposed change, affected records, risk, reversibility and verification plan are shown before execution.
