Audit operational alert decision integrity

Audit every point-in-time operational alert evaluation by recomputing fire/suppress decisions and verifying effective policy, cooldown, evidence freshness, context, controls, severity routing, acknowledgement, action and mature outcome lineage.

What it's for

Makes Gitrevio's context-cause-action, cooldown, severity routing and acknowledgement claims independently auditable instead of assuming a delivered notification was correct or useful.

What you give it

Inputs split into evidence read from your connected systems, calibration your team owns, and numerical controls that affect precision but never the result's meaning.

How it works

Constrained optimization — Pick the best feasible option under real limits — budget, headcount, dependencies, capacity — rather than ranking a list and hoping it fits.

  1. 1 Freeze independently reviewed alert-policy versions, eligibility, score thresholds, context/control/routing requirements, permitted suppressions, cooldown, freshness and response clocks at the as-of cutoff.
  2. 2 Recompute each evaluation's expected fire/suppress decision, validate a cooldown only against an earlier alert in the same policy/unit/condition episode, and reconcile fired decisions one-to-one to immutable alert events.
  3. 3 Verify recipient role, severity/channel, timely acknowledgement, required action and due mature outcome evidence; expose orphan events/outcomes and return repair gates rather than an actionability claim.

Before you trust it

Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.

Assumptions & guardrails

  • Objectives use commensurable locally governed value units, constraints reflect real feasibility, and uncertainty covers plausible adverse inputs.
  • The eligible evaluation ledger includes non-fires and suppressed decisions, policy/condition episodes are stable, snapshots precede decisions, and alert/action/outcome records are complete and immutable.
  • The recommendation is optimal only for its stated objective, feasible set, evidence, and solver guarantee; it is not a universal management optimum.
  • Passing establishes submitted alert-decision evidence integrity, not causal action value, complete observability, intent, employment/security grounds or authority to notify or intervene.

Minimum evidence

  • alert_policies: required and organization-defined
  • alert_evaluations: required and organization-defined
  • alert_events: at least 0 rows/items
  • alert_outcomes: at least 0 rows/items
  • as_of_ms: required and organization-defined

How to validate it

Backtest the chosen action against simple feasible baselines on held-out scenarios, sweep costs/constraints/risk tolerance, and require constraint feasibility under adverse inputs.

Calibrating it to your org

Same for everyone

The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.

Specific to you

  • tenant-scoped point-in-time evaluation chain joined to exactly one effective policy, prior same-episode cooldown evidence, one alert event per fire and one verified outcome per due evaluation without future leakage
  • alert class and aggregate unit, condition episode, eligibility, score semantics/threshold, required context/controls/roles, allowed severity/channel/suppression, cooldown, freshness, response clocks, action requirement, outcome maturity and coverage

Calibration workflow

  1. 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
  2. 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
  3. 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
  4. 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
  5. 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
  6. 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.

Call it from your AI

You don't wire up 388 tools in your MCP client. The GitRevio MCP server exposes 18 tools, three of which let an agent search the catalog, read a tool's schema, and run it — so the assistant finds this one on its own.

gitrevio_capabilities_search
  { "q": "audit every pointintime operational alert evaluation" }
  → finds "audit_operational_alert_decision_integrity"

gitrevio_capability_describe
  { "capability_id": "audit_operational_alert_decision_integrity" }
  → returns the input schema and agent guidance shown on this page

gitrevio_capability_run
  { "capability_id": "audit_operational_alert_decision_integrity", "arguments": { ... } }
  → returns the result shown above

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev, Goose and Aider. See the MCP server.
