What this skill does


# Dispatcher Runtime Incident Response (AMS)

Investigate AMS runtime incidents involving the Adobe Dispatcher Apache HTTP Server module and related HTTPD configuration with an evidence-first workflow.

## Variant Scope

- This skill is AMS-only.
- Scope is fixed by this skill directory; do not ask the user to choose deployment variant.

## MCP Tool Contract

Use only these Dispatcher MCP tools:

- `monitor_metrics`
- `tail_logs`
- `trace_request`
- `inspect_cache`
- `validate`
- `lint`
- `sdk`

## Workflow

1. Quantify impact (`monitor_metrics`).
2. Gather logs and traces (`tail_logs`, `trace_request`). To get the full log sequence for a specific request: use **tail_logs** to obtain entries (some include **pid** and **tid** from dispatcher debug lines), then call **trace_request(pid=..., tid=...)** to retrieve all log lines for that request. See [mcp-tool-orchestration.md](../config-authoring/references/config-authoring/mcp-tool-orchestration.md) § Trace by pid:tid.
3. Apply AMS 6.5 guardrails to triage hypotheses (tier/farm ordering, variable usage, flush exposure, immutable boundaries).
4. Inspect cache behavior (`inspect_cache`).
5. Correlate with static checks (`validate`, `lint`, `sdk`).
6. Return containment + remediation + rollback.

## Verification Scope Selection

Use shared references to select incident evidence depth:

- [mode-specific-verification-matrix.md](./references/dispatcher-foundation/mode-specific-verification-matrix.md)
- [test-case-catalog.md](./references/dispatcher-foundation/test-case-catalog.md)

## Output Contract

Always return:

- incident summary (symptom, impact window, blast radius)
- evidence table (tool, input, finding)
- selected test IDs and outcomes
- probable cause + confidence level
- containment, durable remediation, and rollback
- open risks and missing evidence

## Guardrails

- Distinguish observations from inference.
- Do not claim root-cause certainty without corroborating evidence.
- Do not claim runtime verification if host-path/log prerequisites were missing.
- Keep fixes reversible unless user explicitly requests high-risk change.
