Parameters and headers
| Field | Location | Type and limits | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| table | URL query | string; {"enum":["1"]} | No | Set to 1 for a filtered cursor page; omitting table parameters preserves the original response. |
| q | URL query | string; {"maxLength":128} | No | Case-insensitive literal search in the documented text fields, applied before the page limit. |
| limit | URL query | integer; {"default":50,"maximum":100,"minimum":1} | No | Page size, 1–100; default 50. A following page exists only when another matching row is available. |
| cursor | URL query | string; {"maxLength":4096} | No | Opaque next_cursor from the preceding page. Keep resource, account, filters, sort and limit unchanged; collection cursors expire after 15 minutes. |
| sort | URL query | string; {"enum":["newest","oldest","name_asc","name_desc"]} | No | Stable order with the record ID as a tie breaker: newest, oldest, name_asc or name_desc. |
| status | URL query | string | No | Exact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values. |
| severity | URL query | string | No | Exact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values. |
| from | URL query | string; {"format":"date-time"} | No | Exact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values. |
| to | URL query | string; {"format":"date-time"} | No | Exact field filter; omit the parameter to include all values. |
| workspace_id | URL query | string; {"format":"uuid"} | No | Limit the list to an accessible workspace. |
| state | URL query | string; {"default":"all","enum":["open","all"]} | No | Choose all incidents or only open incidents. |
| counts_only | URL query | string; {"enum":["1"]} | No | Return counts for the requested filter instead of table rows. Counts include search and other filters, excluding this filter selection, sorting and pagination. |
| count_filter | URL query | string; {"enum":["status","state","severity"]} | No | Declared table filter to count. Requires counts_only=1. |
| snapshot | URL query | string; {"format":"date-time"} | No | Optional snapshot from the corresponding table page. |

No request body.
Responses
| Header | Type and limits | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Cache-Control | string; {"pattern":"(?:^|,\\s*)no-store(?:,|$)"} | Private API responses prohibit storage. Public OAuth metadata is cached for 300 seconds; live streams additionally prohibit transformation. |

Current recovery progress is available only for the same still-active incident and unchanged rule version. Requires telemetry:read and access to the incident workspace.
