What it does

Halo Ticket Context is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Review a HaloPSA / HaloITSM ticket for resolution context — its detail, action/note history, linked assets, and related KB runbooks — read-only. Use when investigating a Halo ticket, gathering resolution context, reading a ticket's note history, or finding runbooks for an open issue.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Runbooks and postmortems. It works with Model Context Protocol and Python. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Investigating a Halo ticket
  • Gathering resolution context
  • Reading a tickets note history
  • Finding runbooks for an open issue

Example prompts

  • “/halo-ticket-context”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in HALO_CLIENT_SECRET

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the ticket. If you only have a description, find its id first
  2. Read the ticket detail
  3. Read the note history (the core step)
  4. Inspect linked assets surfaced in step 2
  5. Find related runbooks in the knowledge base
  6. Report a resolution-context summary: the issue, timeline of actions to date, affected assets, applicable KB runbooks, and the recommended…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa90e7d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • HALO_CLIENT_SECRET

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Halo Ticket Context loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 765 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Halo Ticket Context

Review a ticket in Halo to gather everything needed to understand and resolve it — the ticket detail, its full action/note history, the assets it touches, and related knowledge-base runbooks. Entirely read-only. Halo is HaloPSA / HaloITSM (the same product and REST API); tickets are called "Faults" in Halo's API vocabulary.

MCP Server

  • Server: halo-mcp (NetClaw-authored, mcp-servers/halo-mcp/)
  • Command: python3 -u mcp-servers/halo-mcp/halo_mcp_server.py (stdio transport)
  • Auth: OAuth2 client-credentials — HALO_CLIENT_ID / HALO_CLIENT_SECRET against HALO_BASE_URL
  • Python: 3.10+ · Dependencies: fastmcp, httpx, python-dotenv
  • Read/write posture: The whole server is read-only except one gated write (halo_create_change_request, in the halo-change-request skill). Every tool in this skill is read-only.

Available Tools

ToolParametersWhat It Does
halo_get_ticketticket (numeric id)Read one ticket ("Fault") — summary, details, status, priority, client/site/user, and linked assets
halo_get_ticket_actionsticket (numeric id)The ticket's actions/notes history (the investigation timeline)
halo_list_ticketsticket_type?, customer?, asset_id?, status?, open_only?, search?Find a ticket by type, customer, asset, status, or free text
halo_get_assetasset (name / inventory-number / id)Read a linked asset surfaced on the ticket
halo_list_kb_articlessearch?Search the Halo knowledge base for related runbooks
halo_get_kb_articlearticle (numeric id)Read one KB article, including its body

Key Concepts

  • Halo == HaloPSA == HaloITSM. Same API for both editions.
  • Tickets are "Faults" and are addressed by numeric id only — they are not name-resolvable. If you don't have the id, find it with halo_list_tickets (by customer, asset_id, status, or search) first.
  • The Halo "Client" is the customer. Filter ticket lists to an org with the customer param (a client name or id).
  • Actions are the story. halo_get_ticket_actions returns the note/action timeline — the richest source of what has already been tried and what remains.
  • Assets link tickets to devices. halo_get_ticket returns linked assets; read them with halo_get_asset (or pivot to the halo-asset-context skill).
  • KB articles are the runbooks. Search with halo_list_kb_articles, then read the full body with halo_get_kb_article for resolution/runbook context.
  • Read-only. Nothing here writes. If a change is warranted, hand off to halo-change-request.

Workflow

Assemble resolution context for a ticket:

  1. Identify the ticket. If you only have a description, find its id first:

    halo_list_tickets(customer="<client>", search="<keywords>", open_only=true)
  2. Read the ticket detail:

    halo_get_ticket(ticket=<id>)

    Capture status, priority, client/site/requesting user, and any linked assets.

  3. Read the note history (the core step):

    halo_get_ticket_actions(ticket=<id>)

    Reconstruct the timeline: what was diagnosed, what was tried, current state.

  4. Inspect linked assets surfaced in step 2:

    halo_get_asset(asset="<linked asset name or id>")

    For the device's own ticket history and CI dependencies, switch to halo-asset-context.

  5. Find related runbooks in the knowledge base:

    halo_list_kb_articles(search="<symptom / technology>")
    halo_get_kb_article(article=<id>)   # read the full runbook body
  6. Report a resolution-context summary: the issue, timeline of actions to date, affected assets, applicable KB runbooks, and the recommended next step (resolve, escalate, or raise a change via halo-change-request).

HALO_RATE_LIMITOptionalRequests/minute cap (0 = disabled)

Important Rules

  • Read-only skill. None of these tools change Halo. The only write in the entire halo-mcp server is halo_create_change_request (halo-change-request skill).
  • Tickets are addressed by numeric id only. Use halo_list_tickets to find the id when you don't have it; scope by the Halo customer (Client) in multi-client tenants.
  • Halo == HaloPSA == HaloITSM — identical behavior for both editions.
  • GAIT logging is mandatory for all queries.
  • Escalate, don't mutate. If the context implies a change, route it through halo-change-request (preview -> confirm -> submit); never try to write from this skill.

Failure Behavior

  • If a tool call fails with an authentication or connection error, check that HALO_BASE_URL, HALO_CLIENT_ID, HALO_CLIENT_SECRET are set and valid before assuming a data or device problem.
  • On a tool error (timeout, unreachable host, malformed response), report the failure and its error message directly to the user rather than fabricating or guessing at results.
  • For a confirmed read-only call, check connectivity and retry once if appropriate. For any call that changes state or sends a message, a timeout does not prove the action failed: inspect current state or delivery status before retrying, preserve the required approval/change gates, and do not repeat an action whose outcome is unknown.
