What can it help me do?

Helps you handle this workflow: A service is failing and the user can provide logs but not remote access.

What do I need to provide?

Provide Logs or status output, Service name, Recent changes.

What will Codex do?

Codex uses the scenario context to interpret logs and produce safe diagnostic next steps. and keep the work inside the L1 local analysis boundary.

What does the result look like?

You get Likely cause, Safe checks, Escalation boundary.

MCP Human Readable Response

Diagnose a Linux service issue from logs in read-only mode: GetSkillary maps this workflow to a reusable skill bundle led by diagnoses-common-linux-service-issues-using-logs-systemd-pm2-file-permis. Use it when the user needs to interpret logs and produce safe diagnostic next steps.

What Codex Will Do

• Use search_solutions -> get_solution_detail -> recommend_solution_skills -> get_solution_install_plan to find and inspect the GetSkillary scenario solution.
• Review the primary skill diagnoses-common-linux-service-issues-using-logs-systemd-pm2-file-permis and supporting skills create-precise-incident-timelines-from-logs-and-notes, markdown-authoring-helper before suggesting installation.
• Use the confirmed inputs (Logs or status output; Service name; Recent changes) to produce Likely cause; Safe checks; Escalation boundary.
• Use supporting skill tools search_skills -> get_skill_detail -> get_download_url -> get_install_guide only for lookup, detail, manual download URL, and install guidance.
• Keep execution local and ask for human review before accepting any file edits or follow-up actions.

What You Need To Confirm

• Confirm the local files, repository, or task context Codex may inspect for Diagnose a Linux service issue from logs in read-only mode.
• Confirm whether to manually review and download the recommended skill bundle starting with https://getskillary.com/downloads/diagnoses-common-linux-service-issues-using-logs-systemd-pm2-file-permis.zip.
• Confirm that this should remain analysis or planning only unless a later prompt asks for edits.
• Do not provide credentials, browser session data, private customer data, production authority, or external account access through this MCP response.

Risk boundary

L1 local analysis. This scenario is analysis or planning only unless the user separately asks for edits. No hosted execution, credential handling, remote deployment, or external account action is included.

Expected output

Likely cause; Safe checks; Escalation boundary

Next action

Call get_solution_detail with slug "diagnose-linux-service-issue-from-logs-read-only", then use recommend_solution_skills and get_solution_install_plan before manually downloading any skill zip.

1. Confirm scope: Confirm the goal and allowed inputs: Logs or status output; Service name; Recent changes.
2. Inspect solution: Use get_solution_detail for diagnose-linux-service-issue-from-logs-read-only and check the risk boundary before planning work.
3. Review skill bundle: Review diagnoses-common-linux-service-issues-using-logs-systemd-pm2-file-permis plus create-precise-incident-timelines-from-logs-and-notes, markdown-authoring-helper before any manual download or install step.
4. Prepare output: Produce Likely cause; Safe checks; Escalation boundary from local evidence and keep uncertain items explicit.
5. Manual install only: Use get_solution_install_plan only for manual install planning; the MCP server does not install packages or execute workflows.

MCP Discovery Workflow

Use this as read-only discovery and planning. The live endpoint does not execute the workflow or install packages.

1. search_solutions - Find scenario solutions by workflow problem.
2. get_solution_detail - Inspect the scenario solution, risk boundary, skill bundle, and CTA.
3. recommend_solution_skills - Return the primary and supporting GetSkillary skill bundle for the solution.
4. get_solution_install_plan - Return manual install planning for the full solution skill bundle.

Failure Modes

• Inventing root cause
• Requesting credentials
• Treating suggested commands as already run

Example Prompt

How can an AI agent diagnose a Linux service issue from logs without touching the server?
