Here are some prompts to try once the MCP server is connected to your Edge node:

• Devices: “List all devices on this Edge node and show their latest telemetry.”
• Telemetry: “Generate sample temperature data for Sensor A1 for the last 7 days with a 30-minute sampling rate.”
• Alarms: “Show all active alarms with CRITICAL severity.”
• Anomaly detection: “Analyze the power consumption of Building 3 for the past week and flag any anomalies.”
• Relations: “Show all devices related to asset ‘Factory Floor 1’ and their connection types.”
