Part of the SmartBear MCP MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents call bugsnag_get_error to retrieve information from SmartBear MCP without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though bugsnag_get_error only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the bugsnag_get_error tool do? +

Get full details on an error, including aggregated and summarized data across all events (occurrences) and details of the latest event (occurrence), such as breadcrumbs, metadata and the stacktrace. Use the filters parameter to narrow down the summaries further. **Parameters:** - projectId (string): Unique identifier of the project. This is optional if a current project is set and is used to set the current project for BugSnag tools. - errorId (string) *required*: Unique identifier of the error to retrieve - filters (record<string, array>): Apply filters to narrow down the error list. Use the List Project Event Filters tool to discover available filter fields. Time filters support extended ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2018-05-20T00:00:00Z) or relative format (e.g. 7d, 24h). (default: {"event.since":[{"type":"eq","value":"30d"}],"error.status":[{"type":"eq","value":"open"}]}) **Output Description:** JSON object containing: - error_details: Aggregated data about the error, including first and last seen occurrence - latest_event: Detailed information about the most recent occurrence of the error, including stacktrace, breadcrumbs, user and context - pivots: List of pivots (summaries) for the error, which can be used to analyze patterns in occurrences - url: A link to the error in the dashboard - this should be shown to the user for them to perform further analysis **Use Cases:** 1. Investigate a specific error found through the List Project Errors tool 2. Understand which types of user are affected by the error using summarized event data 3. Get error details for debugging and root cause analysis 4. Retrieve error metadata for incident reports and documentation **Examples:** 1. Get details for a specific error ```json { "errorId": "6863e2af8c857c0a5023b411" } ``` Expected Output: JSON object with error details including message, stack trace, occurrence count, and metadata **Hints:** 1. Error IDs can be found using the List Project Errors tool 2. Use this after filtering errors to get detailed information about specific errors 3. Use Get Event Details tool if you need detailed information about a specific event (occurrence) rather than the aggregated error 4. If you used a filter to get this error, you can pass the same filters here to restrict the results or apply further filters 5. The URL provided in the response points should be shown to the user in all cases as it allows them to view the error in the dashboard and perform further analysis. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SmartBear MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on bugsnag_get_error? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for bugsnag_get_error. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the SmartBear MCP MCP server.

What risk level is bugsnag_get_error? +

bugsnag_get_error is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit bugsnag_get_error? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the bugsnag_get_error rule in your Intercept 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 bugsnag_get_error completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for bugsnag_get_error. 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 bugsnag_get_error? +

bugsnag_get_error is provided by the SmartBear MCP MCP server (@smartbear/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
