Indeed, this sequence is not monotonic.
It seems that for $$n = 2k, k \in \mathbb{N}, a_n \geq \sqrt{2} - 1$$ and for $$n = 2k+1, k \in \mathbb{N}, a_n \leq \sqrt{2}-1$$ (this can be proved using induction).
Now, $$a_{2n+2} - a_{2n} = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2+a_{2n+1}} - a_{2n} = \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+a_{2n}}} - a_{2n} = \frac{-2a_{2n}^2-4a_{2n}+2}{5+2a_{2n}}.$$
Because $a_{2n} \geq \sqrt{2}-1 \implies -2a_{2n}^2-4a_{2n}+2 \leq 0$ so $(a_{2n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is decreasing.
You can prove analogously that $(a_{2n+1})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is increasing.
Now you write the recursion relation for $a_{2n}$ and $a_{2n+1}$, apply $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty}$, and you get that the limit is $\sqrt{2}-1$.
You can also just apply $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty}$ in the starting recursion relation, because $(a_{2n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ decreases to $\sqrt{2} - 1$ and $(a_{2n+1})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ increases towards $\sqrt{2}-1$, but writing it for $n$ even and $n$ odd is more rigurous.
$$ a_{2n+2} = \displaystyle \frac{1}{a_{2n+1}+2} = \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+a_{2n}}} .$$ Applying $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty}$, we get that $l = \displaystyle \frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{2+l}} \iff 2l^2 + 4l - 2 = 0$, and the equation has the solutions $l_1 = -1-\sqrt{2}$ and $l_2 = -1+\sqrt{2}$, but since $a_n >0,\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$, the limit is $l = -1+\sqrt{2}$. This is the same for odd $n$.
