Representative actions

  • Acknowledge Incident

    Tool to acknowledge an ongoing incident. Use when you need to mark an incident as being worked on, which prevents further escalations. Acknowledging an incident signals that someone is actively addressing the issue.

  • Create Escalation Policy

    Creates a new escalation policy for incident management. Escalation policies define who gets notified and in what order when incidents occur. Supports multiple step types: 'escalation' (notify members), 'instructions' (guidance text), 'time_branching' (route by schedule), and 'metadata_branching' (route by incident metadata). For escalation steps, a valid urgency_id from the Severities API is required.

  • Create Heartbeat

    Tool to create a new heartbeat monitor for cron jobs and scheduled tasks. Use when you need to set up monitoring for a service that should send regular heartbeat signals.

  • Create Heartbeat Group

    Tool to create a new heartbeat group. Use when you need to organize related heartbeat checks under a single, logical group. Example prompt: "Create a new heartbeat group named 'Backend services'."

  • Create Incident

    Tool to create a new incident and alert the on-call person. Use when you need to manually report an incident or trigger escalation workflows. The incident will be routed according to the specified escalation policy or default team settings.
