# bugsnag_get_events_on_an_error Gets a list of events that have grouped into the specified error 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 - filters (record): Apply filters to narrow down the event 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"}]}) - direction (enum): Sort direction for ordering results (default: "desc") - perPage (number): How many results to return per page. (default: 30) - nextUrl (string): URL for retrieving the next page of results. Use the value in the previous response to get the next page when more results are available. Only values provided in the output from this tool can be used. Do not attempt to construct it manually. Use Cases: 1. Retrieving all the events for comparison to find commonalities or differences in stack traces, breadcrumbs and metadata Examples: 1. Get events of an error json { "projectId": "1234567890abcdef12345678", "errorId": "6863e2af012caf1d5c320000" } Expected Output: A list of events, ordered by timestamp, with complete details including stack trace, breadcrumbs, metadata, and context Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `bugsnag_get_events_on_an_error`.

It performs data retrieval with filtering capabilities, which is characteristic of Read category tools. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name includes 'get' and description states 'Gets a list of events' with parameters for querying and filtering. The tool retrieves data about error events with no modification, deletion, or execution capabilities." ## Use case AI agents call bugsnag_get_events_on_an_error to retrieve information from SmartBear MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
