List alerts for the authenticated organization. Filter by status (UNACKNOWLEDGED/ACKNOWLEDGED/RESOLVED) or paginate.
AI agents call vs_alerts_list to retrieve information from Visual Sentinel MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries alert information. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. Filtering and pagination are read-only operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal: an AI agent could retrieve alert data it shouldn't access, but cannot cause service disruption or data loss.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'vs_alerts_list' and description state it 'List alerts for the authenticated organization' with filtering and pagination options. It retrieves alert data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations.
