Aient

Use this skill when a user asks for Aient operational context from Codex. The

plugin exposes the production Aient MCP server at https://aient.ai/mcp.

The MCP server is the source of truth for tool schemas; discover/use the live

tools rather than relying on a memorized subset.

First Call

Start with verify_connection when checking whether the plugin is available.

It confirms the organisation, granted scopes, token expiry, and live tool count.

MCP Tool Surface

Prefer the current granular tools over the retired early-preview names

telemetry_overview, log_search, and trace_timeline.

Connection and discovery:

• verify_connection: confirm auth and available MCP tools.
• describe_telemetry: discover services, operations, and attributes.
• service_health_summary: get an at-a-glance service health overview.

Telemetry:

• query_traces: aggregate trace metrics such as count, error rate, and latency.
• query_logs: aggregate log metrics by service, severity, or time.
• get_spans: fetch raw spans for a trace or filtered operation set.
• get_logs: fetch raw log entries and attributes.
• detect_anomalies: detect statistical deviations in trace/log metrics.

Problems and lifecycle:

• list_problems: list detected problems with status, severity, priority, and

environment filters.

• get_problem: inspect a problem, recent occurrences, and triage context.
• acknowledge_problem, mute_problem, unmute_problem,

dismiss_problem, resolve_problem, restore_problem_status,

update_problem_priority, and batch_problem_action: apply lifecycle

actions to one or more problems.

Remediation:

• request_fix: spawn an AI remediation agent for a problem.
• get_problem_fix: inspect a remediation attempt.
• list_problem_fixes: list remediation attempts for a problem.
• list_active_fixes: list in-progress remediation work across the

organisation.

Threads:

• get_thread: inspect a thread journal and current agent activity.
• send_thread_message: send a message to a thread's agent.
• respond_to_interaction: answer an agent interaction/awakeable.

Environment and key management:

• list_environments: inspect deployment environments.
• list_environment_keys, create_environment_key, revoke_environment_key:

manage publishable telemetry ingest keys.

• list_api_keys, create_api_key: manage secret API keys for sourcemaps or

complete API access. create_api_key returns the full key exactly once.

Operating Rules

• Prefer the MCP tools for live Aient telemetry and key-management tasks.
• Do not use local development MCP endpoints unless the user explicitly asks for

a local/dev environment.

• Never copy secrets or local credentialed MCP configuration into responses,

plans, or plugin files.

• Read-only tools require aient.mcp.read; mutating tools require

aient.mcp.write.

• For create_api_key, tell the user that the returned key is shown once and

should be stored immediately.

• For telemetry queries, prefer environmentSlug over environmentId when the

user names an environment, and never pass the all-zero UUID placeholder.

• Treat 401 as missing or expired OAuth, 403 as insufficient scope, and a

missing organisation claim as an auth-context issue.
