# incidentio-cli

A skill that lets your agent call the incidentio CLI and reach incident.io: incidents, on-call schedules, alerts, status pages. Useful when the data lives in incident.io.

## What it does

The skill documents the `incidentio` binary and the commands it exposes. Public endpoints run on a Bearer token and are generated from incident.io's official OpenAPI specs, so every documented endpoint is reachable. The base URL is `https://api.incident.io`. Each command is two tokens, `<resource> <verb>`, and the output is JSON you can pipe into `jq` or print unformatted with `--raw`.

You need an API key before anything runs. Create it under **Settings → API keys** (`app.incident.io/settings/api-keys`); the scopes are locked in at creation, so pick them carefully. Store it with `incidentio auth set <api-key>` — the file lands in `~/.config/incidentio/creds.json` with mode 600. For a one-off job or CI, export `INCIDENT_API_KEY` instead. Resolution goes flag first, then environment variable, then stored credential.

A `401` or `403` means the key is bad, revoked, or missing a scope the endpoint wants — calling `incidents create` with a read-only key is the usual case. Check the scopes in the dashboard. Beyond the public API, the skill also covers internal dashboard endpoints, marked 🍪 and driven by cookies: some generated from captured HARs, some added by hand. Anything not codified goes through `raw`.
