Runbooks

Your team's "here's what to do when this breaks" knowledge now lives in Firefight, and shows up exactly when it applies.

Structured procedures. A runbook has a summary, a rich procedure written in a formatting editor and stored as Markdown, an optional external link, and an ordered list of steps. Manage them at Settings → Runbooks.

Automatic attachment. Conditions decide which incidents a runbook applies to: incident type, severity, and custom fields, including catalog references like the affected service. Conditions are evaluated at declaration and re-evaluated on every update, so a runbook scoped to a service attaches the moment that field is set.

From checklist to actions. Attached runbooks post into the incident channel with their steps and an Add steps as actions button. One press creates an action item per step, assignable and trackable like any other.

Built for AI agents. Attached runbooks are part of the incident context Firefight's AI sees, and connected agents can browse them over MCP with two new read-only tools, search_runbooks and get_runbook. The REST API exposes the same data at GET /api/v1/runbooks under a new runbooks permission resource.

On the record. New runbook.attached and runbook.applied timeline events, both available to outbound webhooks.
