Cline executes Datadog Cloud SIEM threat hunts

Tell Cline to investigate a potential breach, and it runs `search_raw_logs` to pull the necessary stack traces or flow logs. It gathers the evidence you need to confirm an attacker's movement across your VPC. Once the data is in the chat, the agent helps you parse the findings. It turns raw log output into a human-readable summary, saving you from digging through JSON manually.

Manage detection rules with Cline

Cline interacts with your security logic using `list_detection_rules` and `get_detection_rule`. You get a clear picture of what your SIEM is watching, from Kubernetes root escalations to GCP IAM anomalies. If you find a gap in your coverage, use the agent to create a new rule. It takes your requirements and maps them to the correct severity levels using `create_detection_rule`.

Triage alerts inside Cline

Move your security signals through the pipeline by using `triage_signal`. You can flip an alert from open to archived with a specific reason, like testing or false positive. This keeps your team focused on real threats. The agent handles the state changes, ensuring your SIEM dashboard stays updated with your latest findings.
