Quick brief

Use Pint when an agent needs to review Prometheus alerting or recording rules for correctness before a pull request merges or a rule change rolls out. This should be invoked instead of using Prometheus normally when the job is rule linting, validation, and CI gating. The scope boundary is strong: Pint focuses on Prometheus rule quality checks and rule-specific diagnostics, not on general monitoring, alert delivery, or platform administration.
