Best for
  • DevOps teams
  • SRE engineers
  • Incident response teams
  • On-call managers
  • Platform engineers
  • Development teams needing incident management
  • Teams that want an AI assistant to directly operate on GitHub repos and collaboration workflows
  • Users already in the GitHub Copilot ecosystem who want a zero-deployment remote option
Not for
  • Organizations requiring fully local deployment
  • Teams not using Rootly for incident management
  • Simple applications without need for real-time alerting and incident management
  • Scenarios where you don't want the assistant to have write access to repos (enable only read-only toolsets)
  • Environments with strict network isolation for private repos that can't reach the official remote endpoint
Required permissions
  • Requires Rootly API access
  • May need OAuth2 authentication or API token
  • May need write permissions for creating and updating incidents based on configuration
  • A personal access token (PAT) or OAuth App token; effective scope depends on the token's own permissions
  • Enabling toolsets like actions/issues/pull_requests grants write access — request tokens on a least-privilege basis
Risks and side effects
  • API token leakage risk
  • Dependency on Rootly service
  • Network connectivity issues may affect functionality
  • Large data requests may cause performance issues
  • Write toolsets (creating/merging PRs, triggering workflows) can cause accidental changes if the token is overscoped — try a read-only toolset first
  • In hosted mode, credentials travel via the Authorization header — make sure the client-to-api.githubcopilot.com connection is trusted
