SentinelOne Unified Alert Management

All alert tools are read-only — you can view, search, and investigate alerts but cannot modify status, assignments, or take response actions.

For full field definitions, response examples, and error details see REFERENCE.md.

MCP Tools

list_alerts — List alerts with filters

Parameters: severity, status, viewType, limit, cursor, sortBy, sortOrder

list_alerts severity=CRITICAL status=NEW sortBy=detectedAt sortOrder=DESC limit=50
list_alerts viewType=CLOUD limit=50

search_alerts — GraphQL filter search

Parameter: filters (array of {fieldId, filterType, values}), limit, cursor

search_alerts filters=[{"fieldId": "endpointName", "filterType": "CONTAINS", "values": ["workstation-01"]}]
search_alerts filters=[{"fieldId": "severity", "filterType": "IN", "values": ["CRITICAL", "HIGH"]}]

Filter types: EQUALS, NOT_EQUALS, CONTAINS, IN, NOT_IN. Add "isNegated": true to invert any filter.

get_alert — Full alert details

get_alert alertId=1234567890

get_alert_notes / get_alert_history

get_alert_notes alertId=1234567890
get_alert_history alertId=1234567890

Key Concepts

Severity: CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW | INFO | UNKNOWN

Status: NEW | IN_PROGRESS | RESOLVED | FALSE_POSITIVE

View types: ALL (default) | CLOUD | KUBERNETES | IDENTITY | INFRASTRUCTURE_AS_CODE | ADMISSION_CONTROLLER | OFFENSIVE_SECURITY | SECRET_SCANNING

Pagination: Pass limit on the first call, then pass the returned cursor to fetch subsequent pages until no results remain.

Workflows

Triage New Alerts

1. list_alerts with status=NEW, sortBy=severity, sortOrder=DESC, limit=50
2. If results hit the limit, page through with cursor — do not assume 50 covers everything
3. For each CRITICAL/HIGH alert: get_alert for full details, then get_alert_notes for prior context
4. If get_alert returns not-found, the alert may have been merged or resolved — re-query list_alerts to confirm
5. Build triage summary: alert name, severity, client (siteName), endpoint, detection time

Investigate a Specific Alert

1. get_alert with the alertId

• If not found: verify the ID via list_alerts or search_alerts — alert IDs can change after merge operations

1. get_alert_notes — check for existing analyst notes before duplicating work
2. get_alert_history — review timeline of status changes and assignments
3. Use purple_ai to investigate the threat described in the alert
4. Cross-reference with list_inventory_items for affected asset context

Search Across Clients

1. search_alerts with filters=[{"fieldId": "severity", "filterType": "IN", "values": ["CRITICAL", "HIGH"]}]
2. If results are large, add a time-range filter or narrow by viewType to reduce noise
3. Group by siteName to identify which clients need attention first

Best Practices

1. Triage CRITICAL/HIGH first — always sort by severity descending during triage
2. Check notes before investigating — call get_alert_notes to avoid duplicating prior analyst work
3. Paginate large result sets — never assume a single page contains all matching alerts; always check for a returned cursor
4. Scope by site for client work — use site/account filters or GraphQL siteName filter when investigating a specific client
