In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review active or historical alerts, identify affected users, investigate ISP or network incidents, and compare problems with known alerts.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether a reported problem is isolated or part of a wider network or service incident, and clarifies its likely cause and impact.

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

zdx-investigate-alerts scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ZDX: Investigate Alerts

Keywords

alerts, incidents, zdx alerts, active alerts, historical alerts, affected devices, alert investigation, ongoing alert, ISP issue, blackout, degradation, alert scope, impacted users, alert history

Overview

Investigate active and historical ZDX alerts to determine their scope, affected users, root cause, and whether they represent isolated incidents or broader patterns. This skill provides a systematic approach to alert triage and investigation.

Use this skill when: An administrator wants to review current or past alerts, understand alert impact, investigate ISP or network incidents, or determine if a reported issue correlates with a known alert.

ZDX Copilot alignment: This skill covers the Troubleshooting category -- "Show me the number of ongoing alerts", "Show me the Incidents in the last 48 hours", "What can I do when I see a blackout incident with an ISP?"


Data Presentation Requirements

All tables are rendered by the HTML template, not by hand. Do not author <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <tr>, <th>, or <td> markup in your reply or in the report. You produce a JSON payload (see Data Payload Contract) and the template at ./templates/report.html.template turns it into the styled, sortable, exportable tables shown in ./example/report.example.html.

After each table, provide:

  1. Detailed analysis explaining the alert severity, scope, and correlation between alerts
  2. Root cause identification based on metric correlation and affected scope
  3. Next steps / resolution with specific remediation actions, escalation paths, and monitoring recommendations

Use color-coded rows by alert priority:

  • Red: High priority alerts (many affected devices, critical applications, long duration)
  • Yellow: Medium priority alerts (moderate impact, localized scope)
  • Green: Low priority or resolved alerts

⚠ HTML OUTPUT — READ THIS BEFORE PRODUCING ANY HTML

Changes

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.
