Security-Advisory Upgrade Triage to PagerDuty

On a security advisory for a dependency, checks whether vulnerable modules are actually used in your code, and pages on-call only when a reachable internal module is affected.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • OutputOpen a severity-scaled PagerDuty incidentPagerDutyPagerDuty

What it does

This workflow cuts security-advisory noise down to what actually matters for your codebase. When an advisory lands for a dependency, it checks whether the vulnerable package is genuinely imported by your modules, and escalates to on-call only when a real, reachable code path is at risk, with a brief on what to patch.

When to use it

Use it when CVE alerts flood the team and most do not apply because the affected package is transitive or unused. Ideal for security-conscious teams who want to page humans precisely instead of crying wolf on every advisory.

How it works

A webhook receives a dependency security advisory (from your scanner or GitHub advisory feed). The flow extracts the affected package and version range, then searches the repository to confirm which internal modules import it and whether the vulnerable APIs are actually called. A logic branch ends quietly if nothing reachable is affected. When a real exposure exists, the model writes a triage brief: the CVE, the affected modules, the fixed version, and the upgrade steps. A PagerDuty incident is created at a severity scaled to the exposure, with the brief attached so on-call can act immediately.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.

Run this workflow in your colony.
