About

# Sentry (Read-only Observability)

## Quick start

- If not already authenticated, ask the user to run `sentry auth login` or set `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN` as an env var. - The CLI auto-detects org/project from DSNs in `.env` files, source code, config defaults, and directory names. Only specify `<org>/<project>` if auto-detection fails or picks the wrong target. - Defaults: time range `24h`, environment `production`, limit 20. - Always use `--json` when processing output programmatically. Use `--json --fields` to select specific fields and reduce output size. - Use `sentry schema <resource>` to discover API endpoints quickly.

If the CLI is not installed, give the user these steps: 1. Install the Sentry CLI: `curl https://cli.sentry.dev/install -fsS | bash` 2. Authenticate: `sentry auth login` 3. Confirm authentication: `sentry auth status` - Never ask the user to paste the full token in chat. Ask them to set it locally and confirm when ready.

## Core tasks (use Sentry CLI)

Use the `sentry` CLI for all queries. It handles authentication, org/project detection, pagination, and retries automatically. Use `--json` for machine-readable output.

### 1) List issues (ordered by most recent)

```bash sentry issue list \ --query "is:unresolved environment:production" \ --period 24h \ --limit 20 \ --json --fields shortId,title,priority,level,status ```

If auto-detection doesn't resolve org/project, pass them explicitly: ```bash sentry issue list {your-org}/{your-project} \ --query "is:unresolved environment:production" \ --period 24h \ --limit 20 \ --json ```

### 2) Resolve an issue short ID to issue detail

```bash sentry issue view {ABC-123} --json ```

Use the short ID format (e.g., `ABC-123`), not the numeric ID.

### 3) Issue detail

```bash sentry issue view {ABC-123} ```

### 4) Issue events

```bash sentry issue events {ABC-123} --limit 20 --json ```

### 5) Event detail

```bash sentry event view {your-org}/{your-project}/{event_id} --json ```

### 6) AI-powered root cause analysis

```bash sentry issue explain {ABC-123} ```

### 7) AI-powered fix plan

```bash sentry issue plan {ABC-123} ```

## Fallback: arbitrary API access

For endpoints not covered by dedicated CLI commands, use `sentry api`: ```bash sentry api /api/0/organizations/{your-org}/ --method GET ```

Use `sentry schema` to discover available API endpoints: ```bash sentry schema issues ```

## Inputs and defaults

- `org_slug`, `project_slug`: auto-detected by the CLI from DSNs, env vars, and directory names. Override with positional `{your-org}/{your-project}` if auto-detection fails. - `time_range`: default `24h` (pass as `--period 24h`). - `environment`: default `prod` (pass as part of `--query`, e.g., `environment:production`). - `limit`: default 20 (pass as `--limit`). - `search_query`: optional `--query` parameter, uses Sentry search syntax (e.g., `is:unresolved`, `assigned:me`). - `issue_short_id`: use directly with `sentry issue view`.

## Output formatting rules

- Issue list: show title, short_id, status, first_seen, last_seen, count, environments, top_tags; order by most recent. - Event detail: include culprit, timestamp, environment, release, url. - If no results, state explicitly. - Redact PII in output (emails, IPs). Do not print raw stack traces. - Never echo auth tokens.

## Golden test inputs

- Org: `{your-org}` - Project: `{your-project}` - Issue short ID: `{ABC-123}`

Example prompt: "List the top 10 open issues for prod in the last 24h." Expected: ordered list with titles, short IDs, counts, last seen.
