SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires httpx, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Incident responders waste time gathering context from PagerDuty during incidents. This Skill centralizes on-call assignments, incident history, and alert patterns to speed triage and decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Retrieve the current on-call roster for escalation policies.
  • List recent incidents, acknowledgements, and assignments to understand trends.
  • Access MTTR metrics (mean, median, p95, min, max) to gauge performance.

Quick Start

To begin, request current on-call and recent incidents for a policy or service, for example: "Get on-call for PSAMPLE and review recent incidents."

FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve PagerDuty incident context for on-call investigations?

To retrieve PagerDuty incident context, you can request current on-call assignments, recent incident history, and alert patterns for a specific escalation policy or service. This centralizes triage data to speed up decision-making during active incidents.

Can I pull MTTR metrics from PagerDuty to assess incident response performance?

Yes, you can pull MTTR metrics from PagerDuty. The Skill fetches mean, median, p95, min, and max MTTR values, allowing you to gauge incident response performance and identify trends in alert resolution times.

What PagerDuty data do I need to review recent incidents and alert patterns?

You need an escalation policy or service identifier to review recent incidents. The Skill then lists recent incidents, acknowledgements, and assignments to help you understand alert patterns and incident trends.

Does this PagerDuty incident context tool require a credential-proxy API layer?

Yes, the tool relies on a credential-proxy API layer to securely fetch on-call data, incidents, and MTTR metrics. It uses Python scripts to interact with this API layer for data retrieval.

What is the best way to get current on-call rosters and recent incidents for a PagerDuty policy?

The best way to get current on-call rosters and recent incidents is to query the escalation policy directly. You can request the on-call roster and simultaneously review recent incidents to accelerate triage and context gathering.

Why does gathering PagerDuty context slow down incident triage?

Gathering PagerDuty context slows triage because responders must manually navigate multiple interfaces to find on-call assignments, incident history, and alert patterns. Centralizing this data reduces delays and speeds up decision-making.
