AI Agents for Incident Investigation: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
summary
AI agents connect to observability stacks and coding engines to compress investigation time and sometimes cut MTTR, with about 50% of teams running pilots and integrations using Claude Code and the Anthropic model context protocol. They reliably pull and correlate logs, metrics, and traces but hit context limits (telemetry >> model buffer), wander into rabbit holes, and confidently hallucinate root causes — measured at ~11% then improved toward 80% in some approaches. Security risks include prompt injection spikes (~500%) and leaked secrets, so verification remains mandatory.
