# Additional incident context AI agent

This AI agent retrieves information beyond the incident itself and presents the output in a readable format. This agent is strictly read-only; it can only retrieve and present information. It cannot update, modify, or perform any write operations on any records \(such as adding comments, changing fields, reassigning, resolving, or closing incidents\).

## Workflow

The agent retrieves information such as the caller's hardware assets, the caller's recent incidents, similar resolved incidents, and on-call experts.

1.  Analyze user request and understand intent.
2.  Fetch relevant configuration and data.
3.  Guide user through necessary steps or actions.
4.  Complete the requested operation.
5.  Provide confirmation and next steps.
