WHAT IT DOES

What create_incident_alert does on OneUptime

AI agents use create_incident_alert to create or update resources in OneUptime, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OneUptime environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`alertId`	string	Yes	ID of the Alert that is linked to the incident.
`projectId`	string	—	ID of your OneUptime Project in which this object belongs.
`incidentId`	string	Yes	ID of the Incident this alert is linked to.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_incident_alert is rated Medium

An AI agent can call create_incident_alert faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in OneUptime by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_incident_alert safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and OneUptime, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_incident_alert, this is the rule to start with:

create_incident_alert Rate-limited

create_incident_alert stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect OneUptime, apply this rule, and every create_incident_alert call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_incident_alert

What does the create_incident_alert tool do? +

Create a new Incident Alert in OneUptime. Returns the created Incident Alert object with its ID. Use this to add new Incident Alerts to your project. Note: projectId is inferred from your API key — you do not need to provide it. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OneUptime MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does create_incident_alert accept? +

create_incident_alert accepts 3 parameters: alertId, projectId, incidentId. Required: alertId, incidentId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on create_incident_alert? +

Register the OneUptime MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_incident_alert: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches OneUptime. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_incident_alert? +

create_incident_alert is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_incident_alert? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_incident_alert rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block create_incident_alert completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_incident_alert. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides create_incident_alert? +

create_incident_alert is provided by the OneUptime MCP server (https://oneuptime.com/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
