Metric issue output missing alert rule details (query, aggregate, condition) #1087
Description
Metric issue tool output omits alert rule details (query, aggregate, condition, evaluated value), leaving the agent without the context it needs to help root-cause an alert.
The Sentry UI surfaces this clearly (see example: dataset, aggregate count(), query process_shard OR OutboxFlushError, interval, threshold, evaluated value), but none of it is included in the MCP tool response for metric_issue type issues.
- Issue type:
metric_issue/ category:metric - Missing fields: alert rule query, dataset, aggregate function, interval, threshold condition, evaluated value
- Impact: agent responses are effectively useless for metric alerts — no query context means no ability to investigate signal vs. noise, trend, or root cause
- The event output currently includes only generic tags (
level,interface_type) and trace info, with no alert rule payload

Reopened: #1129 only partly fixed this. Real metric issue output still shows only the evaluated value and threshold. Dataset, aggregate, query, interval and monitor ID are missing.
Likely cause:
formatMetricAlertDetailsreads snake_case keys (data_sources,query_obj,snuba_query), but the event API returns camelCase (dataSources,queryObj,snubaQuery). The tests used snake_case fixtures, anddetectorIdisn't shown.Fix: read the camelCase keys, show
detectorIdso agents can callget_metric_monitor_details, and add a test using a real event.Also: in Response Notes, give the agent a ready-to-run call for the alert's dataset (
search_logs,search_traces,search_errorsorsearch_metrics). Pre-fill it with the alert's query, environment and the time of the breach, and drop the stacktrace and trace hints.fix(formatting): read camelCase metric alert evidence and link to bre…
