Devops Get Incidents

devops_get_incidents
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch incident history and scheduled maintenance windows for a vendor. Returns full incident timeline — each investigator update, affected components, and resolution. Filter by status to focus on active incidents (use before deploy), resolved history (for postmortem), or upcoming maintenance windows. Page through long histories with limit + offset — a truncated result discloses the total and returns the value to page with in nextOffset. Some vendor feeds cap their own history: when upstreamCeiling is present the vendor API returned everything it will serve, and older incidents are reachable only on the vendor status page, not at a higher offset. An empty result explains itself in notice.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum incidents to return per call (1–50). Page through longer history with offset rather than raising this.
filterNoall: incidents plus scheduled maintenances. active: only incidents with status investigating/identified/monitoring. resolved: only fully resolved incidents. scheduled: only scheduled maintenance windows. Not every vendor backend serves every filter — "aws" publishes currently-open events only (never resolved, no maintenance windows), and "gcp" and "slack" publish no maintenance windows. An empty result names which case applied.all
offsetNoNumber of matching incidents to skip before applying limit, for paging through history. 0 (default) returns the most recent page; a truncated result returns the value to use next in the nextOffset field. Raising offset past the number of matches returns an empty list and says so.
vendorYesVendor slug (e.g., "github", "aws") or raw Atlassian Statuspage base URL. Use devops_list_vendors to find slugs.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
capNoThe limit that was applied. Present only when truncated.
nameNoDisplay name of the vendor.
errorNoPresent when the call failed. Absent on success.
shownNoNumber of incidents returned after applying the limit. Present only when truncated.
noticeNoPlain-language explanation of this result — how to page onward, why it came back empty (the vendor currently publishes nothing at all, a filter the backend cannot satisfy, or an offset past the end), or that the vendor feed capped the history. Absent when the result needs no explanation.
vendorNoVendor slug or URL as provided.
incidentsNoMatching incidents.
truncatedNoTrue when more incidents matched than the limit returned. Absent when the result was not capped.
nextOffsetNoThe offset to pass on the next call to continue from where this page stopped, already computed as offset + the number returned. Present only when truncated — its absence means this page reached the end of what the filter matched.
totalCountNoTotal incidents matching the filter, across all pages, before offset/limit windowing. Present only when the result was truncated.
statuspage_urlNoStatus page base URL used.
total_returnedNoNumber of incidents in the response.
upstreamCeilingNoMaximum incidents the vendor's own status API serves in one fetch, present only when that ceiling was reached on this call. It bounds the history independently of limit and offset: incidents older than the oldest one returned cannot be fetched at any offset, only browsed on the vendor status page. Absent when the vendor feed is unbounded or returned less than its ceiling.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint, but the description adds significant behavioral detail beyond those: vendor-specific history caps (upstreamCeiling), pagination semantics (nextOffset), and self-explaining empty results via notice. This exceeds what annotations provide and is crucial for correct usage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is about five sentences, each adding distinct value: purpose, filter usage, pagination, vendor ceiling, and empty-result behavior. It is front-loaded with the core action and structured logically without redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, return values are covered. The description covers all operational edge cases: vendor-specific filter availability, pagination truncation with nextOffset, upstreamCeiling limitations, and empty-result self-documentation. An agent has everything needed to call this tool correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema already documents most parameter behavior (e.g., offset's nextOffset, filter vendor limitations). The description adds the upstreamCeiling concept and synthesizes pagination flow in a clearer way, but much of this is already in the schema. It adds moderate value beyond the schema, so a 4 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb+resource: 'Fetch incident history and scheduled maintenance windows for a vendor.' It clearly distinguishes from siblings by focusing on incident data and explicitly names the filters and pagination. There is no ambiguity about what the tool returns.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives explicit usage context for each filter: 'use before deploy' for active incidents, 'for postmortem' for resolved, and mentions scheduled maintenance. It also refers to devops_list_vendors for finding vendor slugs. However, it does not explicitly compare to other sibling tools (e.g., when to use devops_status_check instead), though the purpose is distinct enough.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct aspect of DevOps status monitoring: certificate health, DNS resolution, incident history, vendor discovery, current status, action suggestions, and stack monitoring. Even the overlapping status_check and watch_stack have clear differences (arbitrary targets vs saved stacks). No ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools share the devops_ prefix and mostly follow a verb_noun pattern (check_certs, check_dns, get_incidents, list_vendors, suggest_action, watch_stack). The exception is devops_status_check, which inverts to noun_verb, but it's still readable and doesn't cause confusion.

Tool Count5/5

7 tools is well within the 3-15 sweet spot for a domain-specific server. Each tool covers a necessary function with no redundancy or bloat, making the surface area easy to navigate.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers the core lifecycle of DevOps status monitoring: discovery, health checks, incident lookup, certificate and DNS checks, and actionable recommendations. Minor gaps like a dedicated tool for viewing a single incident in isolation are mitigated by filtering in get_incidents. The stack management is a bonus that adds convenience.
