Service Itsm Incident Mgmt Configure

Configuring ITSM Incident Management (master toggle)

Read and toggle the master Incident Management setting on a Salesforce ITSM org. This is the org-level switch that turns Incident Management on or off. Enabling it also brings up its sub-features on the server side, so a full enablement is a single operation on the master.

Writes are idempotent (skipped when the current status already matches the requested state), the skill always reads before it writes, and an explicit confirm-to-write checkpoint is required before any mutation.

What this skill controls

For the exact URLs, wire shapes, and worked examples for the master read and write, see references/mcp-invocation.md.

Scope

• In scope: read and toggle the master Incident Management preference.
• Out of scope: Default Field Validations for Incidents (IncidentValidationsEnabled); Incident Priority Matrix configuration; Auto Closure of Child Incidents and Email-to-Incident sub-toggles; Problem Management; Change Management; Case Management; ITSM External Client App setup; other ITSM prefs (IncidentTriageAgentEnabled, IncAssignWithAgentEnabled, AssignedGroupValidationEnabled); broadcast-channel prefs; creation or configuration of Incident, Problem, or ChangeRequest records.

Preconditions

Before the skill can call anything on headless-360, the target org and MCP client must be configured. If any of these are unmet, the tools will surface as 401, 403, or 404 on the first call; do not fabricate state — surface the raw error and stop.

1. Server activated on the org: Setup → MCP Servers → headless-360 → Activate. Activation can take up to ~2 minutes.
2. External Client App wired: an ECA in the org with OAuth scopes mcp_api and refresh_token, JWT-based access tokens enabled, PKCE required. ECA propagation can take up to 30 minutes.
3. API v67.0+: required for the read and write routes this skill uses.
4. MCP client registration: the client (adk-eval / Claude Code) has an additionalServers.headless-360 entry pointing to the correct env URL (see references/mcp-invocation.md).

If any precondition fails, the tools return one of:

• 401 Unauthorized → ECA not propagated, wrong scopes, or expired token.
• 403 Forbidden → user lacks perm, or org missing IncidentMgmt.orgHasITSMOrgPermission.
• 404 Not Found → server not activated on the org.

Report the raw response verbatim rather than guessing which precondition failed.

Architecture — How configuration works

Idempotency: after the Phase-3 read, if the current state already matches the requested state, skip Phase 5 and treat the operation as a no-op. references/mcp-invocation.md documents the exact status field and match rule.

Read-only tool selection: use dispatch_readonly for the read. Use dispatch for the write. The server refuses mutating operations through dispatch_readonly.

Wire shape: dispatch and dispatch_readonly both take {"url": "/services/data/...", "method": "GET|POST|PATCH|...", "body"?: {...}, "query_params"?: {...}}. See references/mcp-invocation.md for the exact request/response shapes; call describe at runtime to confirm.

Clarifying Questions

Ask only what is not already in conversation context:

If the user says "toggle" without specifying a direction, ask for the direction before Phase 4. Do not infer it from the current state.

Workflow

All steps run against the headless-360 MCP server; the tool namespace is mcp__headless-360__<tool-name>.

Phase 0 — Reuse what the session already knows

Each preflight read below carries a skip-if-already-known clause. Before calling any read endpoint, check whether an earlier turn in this session already produced the same fact from a successful tool response tied to the current org (a prior invocation of this skill, a parent orchestrator's live read, or an earlier dispatch_readonly this run). An explicit user statement is NOT a substitute for a live read of the master preference — user assertions can be stale or mistaken, and this skill relies on the read being the source of truth for the confirmation payload and the Phase-6 idempotency verify. When the only source is a user statement, re-read.

• describe of the master read/write routes — if the request/response schemas were already fetched against the current org this session, skip Phase 1 and Phase 2 and reuse the cached schema. describe output is stable within a session.
• Current master preference state — if the master IncidentMgmtEnabled value for the current org was already read this session via a successful dispatch_readonly response (Phase 3 result from an earlier run of this skill, or a parent orchestrator that already asked us to check), skip Phase 3 and reuse the recorded "before" value. A user's verbal claim that the switch is on or off is not cache-eligible.

When in doubt, re-check. Skip only when the earlier fact is unambiguously in context AND you have not switched orgs — the headless-360 MCP session binds to one org via the JWT, so an org change is only possible if the session was re-authed mid-conversation. If the user hints at a different org, or you cannot tell which org the earlier fact came from, re-run the read. Note: any dispatch write elsewhere in the session that could have flipped the master (this skill's Phase 5, or an admin change via another tool) also invalidates the cache — re-read. A wrong skip on a live org write is worse than a duplicated read.

Phase 1 — Preflight (discover / describe)

1. (Skip if the operation schemas were already verified this session — see Phase 0.) Call describe on the read/write routes (or discover with a query like "ITSM incident management setup discovery" if the operation IDs are unknown). Confirm the operations exist and their argument schemas match references/mcp-invocation.md.
2. If any tool call returns 401 / 403 / 404, halt and surface the raw error — the org or client is not configured correctly (see Preconditions).

Phase 2 — Load Schemas (describe)

3. (Skip if the schema for each operation is already cached this session — see Phase 0.) For each operation the invocation will use, call describe and cache the returned request/response schema. Do not hard-code the argument shape from the reference doc — read it from describe; the docs are a working expectation, the runtime contract is whatever describe returns.

Phase 3 — Read Current State (dispatch_readonly)

4. (Skip if the current master state for this org was already read this session AND no write has flipped it since — see Phase 0.) Read the current state of the master preference using the read route documented in references/mcp-invocation.md. Record the value as the "before" state for the Phase-4 confirmation and the Phase-6 verify.

   For a view-only request, stop after Phase 3 and go to Phase 7 to report.

Phase 4 — Decide Operation + Confirm-to-Write (REQUIRED for any write)

5. Decide the operation from the user's prompt (view / enable / disable). If the user said "toggle" without a direction, ask for the direction first.

6. Present the target payload via AskUserQuestion as (Master Incident Management: <current> → <requested>). Require an explicit "yes" before proceeding. Proceed to Phase 5 ONLY on explicit "yes". On "no", stop and report the current state without writing.

Phase 5 — Apply the Change (skip for view-only)

7. Apply the idempotency rule from references/mcp-invocation.md: if the current state already matches the requested state, skip Phase 5 and mark the operation as an idempotent no-op.

8. Otherwise, dispatch the write via dispatch using the enable or disable route documented in references/mcp-invocation.md. Enabling the master brings up the Incident Management sub-features on the server side — no separate calls are needed to turn them on. Disabling the master leaves those sub-features at their last-set values.

9. On error (4xx, 5xx), record the raw response verbatim and stop.

Phase 6 — Verify (dispatch_readonly)

10. Re-issue the Phase-3 read and compare against the requested state per the rule in references/mcp-invocation.md. If they differ, treat it as a failed write and report the raw server response verbatim.

Phase 7 — Report

11. Present a before/after summary:
    • View: Master Incident Management: <current-status>.
    • Toggle: Master Incident Management: <before> → <after> with verdict SUCCEEDED / ALREADY-<state> / FAILED.
    • On Phase-6 mismatch: write FAILED — server state differs from request. Server response: <verbatim>.

Verification Checklist

Before reporting completion of any mutation, confirm each of the following. If any item is unchecked, do not report success — surface what is missing.

• Phase 1 preflight (describe / discover) returned the operation without a 401 / 403 / 404; if any was returned, the raw error was surfaced and the run halted.
• Phase 3 read against the master preference returned a status and that value was recorded as the "before" state.
• Phase 4 confirm-to-write presented (Master Incident Management: <current> → <requested>) via AskUserQuestion and the user replied with an explicit "yes" — no write dispatched on any other response (silence, "maybe", "looks good", implicit approval).
• Idempotency: if the current state already matched the requested state, Phase 5 was skipped and the run was reported as an idempotent no-op — no dispatch write was issued.
• Phase 5 write used dispatch (not dispatch_readonly) with the wire shape from references/mcp-invocation.md; on any 4xx / 5xx, the raw response was surfaced and the run halted.
• Phase 6 verify re-issued the Phase-3 read and the post-write state matched the user-approved target; any diff was reported as write FAILED — server state differs from request.
• The final report gave a before/after for the master preference with verdict SUCCEEDED / ALREADY-<state> / FAILED.
