## Introduction

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks.
This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Rootly account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to list all open incident action items, get details for action item ID 12345, delete completed action item from incident, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

## What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.
With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Rootly through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

## What is the Rootly MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Rootly MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Rootly account. It provides structured and secure access to your incident action items, so your agent can list, review, retrieve detailed information, and manage follow-up tasks on your behalf during or after incidents.
- Comprehensive action item retrieval: Instantly list all incident-related action items, making it easy for your agent to track ongoing or outstanding tasks.
- Detailed action item inspection: Pull up in-depth information for any action item—including summary, description, priority, status, and due date—to keep teams informed and accountable.
- Streamlined task management: Direct your agent to remove obsolete or completed action items, ensuring your incident follow-up list stays relevant and up to date.
- Automated follow-up coordination: Use your agent to monitor and organize post-incident tasks, helping your team close the loop on every incident and maintain operational excellence.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ROOTLY_DELETE_ACTION_ITEM` | Delete Action Item | This tool allows for the deletion of a specific action item in Rootly. It complements the existing ROOTLY_LIST_ACTION_ITEMS functionality by providing the ability to remove individual action items from the system. |
| `ROOTLY_DELETE_INCIDENT` | Delete Incident | Tool to delete an incident in Rootly by ID. Use when performing administrative cleanup. This is a destructive operation and depends on appropriate Rootly permissions. |
| `ROOTLY_GET_ACTION_ITEM` | Get Action Item Details | Retrieves detailed information about a specific action item by its ID from Rootly. Action items are tasks or follow-up items created during incident management to track work that needs to be completed. This tool returns comprehensive details including: - Core info: summary, description, kind (task/follow_up), priority, status, due_date - Assignment: assigned user and group IDs - Integration links: Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, and other connected tools - Metadata: creation and update timestamps, direct URL to the action item Use ROOTLY_LIST_ACTION_ITEMS first to discover available action item IDs if you don't already have one. |
| `ROOTLY_GET_INCIDENT` | Get Incident Details | Tool to retrieve full details for a single Rootly incident by ID. Use when you need complete incident information for drill-down after listing or searching incidents. Supports optional include parameter to fetch related resources like environments, services, action_items, and events in a single request. |
| `ROOTLY_LIST_ACTION_ITEMS` | List Action Items | This tool retrieves a list of all action items for an organization in Rootly. Action items are tasks or follow-up items that need to be completed during or after an incident, helping to track and manage incident-related tasks effectively. |
| `ROOTLY_UPDATE_INCIDENT` | Update Incident | Tool to update fields on an existing Rootly incident by ID. Use when you need to modify incident status, severity, metadata, or other attributes. Supports updating title, status, summary, severity_id, service_ids, environment_ids, and more. |

## Supported Triggers

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Rootly MCP?

With a standalone Rootly MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Rootly tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Rootly and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Cowork?

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Rootly tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Rootly while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Rootly scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Rootly data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
