sentry

Error tracking and performance monitoring - projects, issues, events, releases

When to use sentry

Choose if

You need read-mostly access to Sentry projects, issues, events, and releases from an agent loop, with a local SQLite mirror for offline triage and cross-entity SQL. Pick this over Sentry's web UI when an agent needs to programmatically diff releases, fingerprint-rank issues, or correlate events with deploys without round-tripping through the dashboard.

Avoid if

You need to send error events INTO Sentry (this CLI is for reading and managing existing data, not for shipping new errors — use the Sentry SDK for that). Also avoid if your token only has project:read scope and you need org-wide pivots, or if your team prefers Sentry's own alerting and dashboarding workflows over agent-driven triage.

Risk Flags

  • MEDIUM auth Requires a Sentry auth token with org:read, project:read, and event:read scopes. Restricted tokens (project:read only) cap which settings the CLI can update. Exit code 4 surfaces auth failure.
  • LOW rate_limit Exit code 7 indicates upstream rate-limit hits; concrete thresholds are not disclosed.
  • LOW scope Destructive actions require `--yes` confirmation. README discloses no security warnings or vulnerability disclosures specific to the CLI.

Cost

Type: Unknown · Free tier: The CLI binary is free to install. Sentry itself has a free tier upstream but plan pricing is not covered in the CLI README.

Hidden costs

  • Requires a Sentry account and an auth token; the CLI is free but Sentry's plan tiers (Developer, Team, Business) are not disclosed in this README.
