# bugsnag_update_error Update the status of an 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 - operation (enum) *required*: The operation to apply to the error - issue_url (string): The URL of the issue to link to the error - required when operation is 'link_issue' - reopenRules (object): Reopen rules for snooze operation - required when operation is 'snooze' Use Cases: 1. Mark an error as open, fixed or ignored 2. Discard or un-discard an error 3. Update the severity of an error 4. Snooze an error with defined conditions for when it should be reopened Examples: 1. Mark an error as fixed json { "errorId": "6863e2af8c857c0a5023b411", "operation": "fix" } Expected Output: Success response indicating the error was marked as fixed 2. Snooze an error for 1 hour json { "errorId": "6863e2af8c857c0a5023b411", "operation": "snooze", "reopenRules": { "reopenIf": "occurs_after", "seconds": 3600 } } Expected Output: Success response indicating the error was snoozed for 1 hour 3. Snooze an error until 5 additional users are affected json { "errorId": "6863e2af8c857c0a5023b411", "operation": "snooze", "reopenRules": { "reopenIf": "n_additional_users", "additionalUsers": 5 } } Expected Output: Success response indicating the error was snoozed until 5 additional users are affected 4. Snooze an error until 10 occurrences in 24 hours json { "errorId": "6863e2af8c857c0a5023b411", "operation": "snooze", "reopenRules": { "reopenIf": "n_occurrences_in_m_hours", "occurrences": 10, "hours": 24 } } Expected Output: Success response indicating the error was snoozed until 10 occurrences in 24 hours 5. Link a Jira issue to an error json { "errorId": "6863e2af8c857c0a5023b411", "operation": "link_issue", "issue_url": "https://smartbear.atlassian.net/browse/PIPE-9547" } Expected Output: Success response indicating the Jira issue was linked to the error 6. Unlink a Jira issue from an error json { "errorId": "6863e2af8c857c0a5023b411", "operation": "unlink_issue" } Expected Output: Success response indicating the Jira issue was unlinked from the error Hints: 1. Only use valid operations - BugSnag may reject invalid values 2. When using 'snooze' operation, reopenRules parameter is required 3. When using 'link_issue' operation, issue_url parameter is required 4. Use 'unlink_issue' to remove the link between an error and its issue 5. For 'occurs_after' reopen rules, specify 'seconds' parameter 6. For 'n_additional_users' reopen rules, specify 'additionalUsers' parameter (max 100,000) 7. For 'n_occurrences_in_m_hours' reopen rules, specify both 'occurrences' and 'hours' parameters 8. For 'n_additional_occurrences' reopen rules, specify 'additionalOccurrences' parameter 9. Snoozing temporarily silences an error until the specified reopen condition is met Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `bugsnag_update_error`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp/bugsnag-update-error ## Facts - Tool: `bugsnag_update_error` - Server: SmartBear MCP (`SmartBear/smartbear-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/smartbear-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/SmartBear/smartbear-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 5 (2 required) - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `errorId` | string | yes | Unique identifier of the error | | `issue_url` | string | no | The URL of the issue to link to the error - required when operation is 'link_issue' | | `operation` | string | yes | The operation to apply to the error | | `projectId` | string | no | 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. | | `reopenRules` | object | no | Reopen rules for snooze operation - required when operation is 'snooze' | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "bugsnag_update_error", "arguments": { "errorId": "", "operation": "" } } } ``` ## Why bugsnag_update_error is rated Medium This tool modifies error status and metadata (link_issue, snooze operations) but does not permanently delete data or execute arbitrary code. The operations are state transitions that can be reversed (e.g., reopening a fixed error, unlinking an issue). This fits the Write category. From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Update the status of an error' with operations including marking errors as 'open, fixed or ignored' and ability to 'link_issue' or 'snooze'. These are reversible state modifications that change error metadata without deletion."
