Drive an error-budget recovery playbook when budget is exhausted
When a service's Honeycomb error budget hits zero, an agent investigates recent burn, opens a tracked recovery task in Linear with proposed mitigations.

What it does
When a service exhausts its error budget, this agent-driven workflow runs the recovery playbook instead of just alerting. It pulls the burn history and recent deploys from Honeycomb, reasons about likely contributors, drafts a prioritized mitigation plan, files it as a Linear issue, and posts the freeze plus plan to Slack.
When to use it
Use it when budget exhaustion should trigger a real, owned remediation effort rather than a notification that gets lost. Best for teams that want the first investigative pass and a tracked plan ready before a human picks it up.
How it works
- 1A Honeycomb budget-exhausted condition triggers the agent.
- 2The agent queries Honeycomb for the burn timeline, top error sources, and deploys in the burn window.
- 3It reasons over the evidence to draft ranked mitigation steps and an estimated recovery path.
- 4It creates a Linear issue capturing the freeze, evidence, and proposed plan with an owner.
- 5It posts a Slack summary linking the Linear issue so responders start from the plan.
