Monitor incident comments after a GitHub secret alert
Bring the active community incident thread into your private response channel when an alert appears.
Trigger
New Secret Scanning Alert Detected
Triggers when a new secret scanning alert is detected in a GitHub repository. Monitors open secret scanning alerts and fires an event for each newly detected alert. Supports filtering by secret type (e.g., personal access tokens, AWS keys) and by token validity status (active, inactive, unknown). The payload includes the alert number, secret type, validity status, resolution state, timestamps, URLs, and flags for push protection bypass, public exposure, and multi-repo detection.
Action
Retrieve Comments for a Post
Retrieves all comments for a reddit post given its article id (which must be for an existing, public post); nested replies within comments are returned as raw dictionaries requiring parsing.
Why this helps
During an incident, checking a separate public thread is one more attention drain.
- Keeps incident context in one reporting channel
- Makes public questions easier to notice
