Description

Dry-run a monitor against current data WITHOUT triggering alerts or sending notifications.

**What it does:**
- Evaluates the monitor's conditions against current campaign data
- Shows which campaigns would match and which would be skipped
- Does NOT create triggers, send emails, or queue auto-actions
- Useful for verifying a monitor is configured correctly before enabling

**When to use:**
- "Test my CPA monitor"
- "Would this alert trigger right now?"
- "Check if my monitor is set up correctly"
- "Dry run the budget overspend alert"

Requires the monitor's alert_id (get from list_monitors).

All tool arguments are wrapped in an arguments object.
