Orca Security

Get code origin traceability data linking an alert to its source code. Use this tool FIRST whenever the user asks about the code, source file, or origin that caused an alert. Many cloud misconfigurations originate from IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.) - always check before assuming an alert has no code origin. Retrieves the complete code-to-cloud lineage, including source repositories, modules, and deployment pipelines that produced this asset. This enables shift-left security by connecting runtime findings back to source code. Use this tool to: - Trace assets back to their source code repositories - Identify responsible development teams and code owners - Map runtime security issues to specific code modules - Understand deployment provenance and build lineage Example usage: - "Where did this related EC2 instance come from in the code?" - "Show me the code origin for alert orca-1234" - "Show me the specific code that triggered this alert", - "Who's the owner of this alert?"

get_alert_code_origin

Get timeline events for a given alert id (data contains the timeline events). This data consists of alert operational events history within orca platform (like alert open , close, snooze, etc), state changes and tickting system updates and links including the user info that performed the actions. This tool is useful to get the history of the alert and the actions performed on it. This tool does not serve the alert data, for that use the get_alert tool. Example questions on this data: 1. "Show me the history of this alert" 2. "When did this alert status change?" 3. "Who acknowledged this alert?" 4. "Has this alert been triggered before?" 5. "The ticket was opened for this alert?"
