tierzero-investigate

tierzero-investigate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TierZeroAI/tierzero-cursor. It costs 117 tokens per session (900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for investigating problems in live software systems through TierZero, using records such as logs, measurements, request traces, deployment runs, and internal documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are for diagnosing production failures, alerts, latency changes, unusual usage, recent deployment problems, and questions about how a service behaves in real use.
Why use it?
They help the coding agent use real production evidence when an incident, error, slowdown, or traffic change could affect the answer.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tierzero-investigate scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

TierZero: Production Investigation Skill

Query production telemetry through TierZero's MCP server and run end-to-end investigations across logs, metrics, traces, CI/CD runs, and knowledge bases.

When to use

TRIGGER when:

  • The user is debugging a production issue, error, or alert
  • The user references an incident, alert page, or recent deploy
  • The user asks "what's happening with X?" / "is service Y healthy?" / "did the deploy break anything?"
  • A code change touches a hot path and you don't yet know what calls it or how often
  • A PR review hinges on whether something is actually broken in prod
  • The user pastes a service name, error string, stack trace, or alert from a real environment
  • Any task where understanding real traffic, error rates, latency, or usage would change the answer

DO NOT trigger for pure unit tests, doc-only changes, or local-dev questions where production data is irrelevant.

How to call

This plugin registers TierZero as an MCP server (tierzero) in Cursor. Call the MCP tools directly — do not shell out to curl or wrap them in scripts.

Primary tools:

  • tierzero_ask — kicks off an investigation and returns a grounded answer. Pass a single query argument in plain English. Be specific (service name, time range, symptom).
  • tierzero_fetch_context — load a TierZero conversation, investigation, or artifact by URL or UUID. Use the tierzero-fetch skill when this applies.

Other tools the TierZero MCP server exposes are also available — check the server's tool list when you need more specific access (raw logs, traces, CI runs).

Writing good queries

A good query for tierzero_ask:

  • Names the service or component (e.g. payment-service, not "the API")
  • Specifies a time window (e.g. "last 30 minutes", "since 14:00 UTC", "during the deploy at 13:42")
  • States the symptom (errors, latency, drop in traffic, unexpected log line)
  • Mentions the integration if relevant (Datadog, Sentry, GitHub Actions, etc.)

Examples:

  • What errors occurred in payment-service in the last hour?
  • Show p95 latency for /api/checkout over the last 24h and flag anomalies.
  • Did any GitHub Actions workflows for the api repo fail today?
  • Has the rate of 5xx on auth-service changed since the deploy at 13:42 UTC?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
