Cline executes incident response workflows
You tell Cline to start an incident and it calls `create_incident` immediately. It manages the entire lifecycle by creating tickets and adding context. After creating the incident, it uses `add_incident_note` to log your progress. Cline does the work while you watch the logs.
Automate service catalog lookups
Cline reads your service catalog using `list_services`. It pulls the necessary metadata via `get_service` before it touches any code. It verifies which runbooks apply to the affected service using `list_runbooks`. This ensures your fixes align with your team's established processes.
Manage team routing with Cline
When an outage hits, Cline runs `list_teams` to find the right responders. It uses `get_team` to provide you with contact info for the on-call engineers. This saves you from context switching. Cline keeps the team informed through the tools you already use.
