Service Itsm Incident Mgmt Configure
Reads and toggles the master Incident Management setting on a Salesforce ITSM org — the org-level switch that turns Incident Management on or off. Reads current state before writing, is idempotent, and requires explicit user confirmation before any change. Use when the user wants to enable, disable, toggle, view, or turn on/off Incident Management (Service ITSM) at the org level. DO NOT TRIGGER for Default Field Validations for Incidents, Auto Closure of Child Incidents, Email-to-Incident sub-toggles, Problem Management, Change Management, Case Management, ITSM External Client App setup, or Incident Priority Matrix configuration (use the service-itsm-incident-priority-configure skill).

What this skill tells the agent
Configuring ITSM Incident Management (master toggle)
Read and toggle the master Incident Management setting on a Salesforce ITSM org. This is the org-level switch that turns Incident Management on or off. Enabling it also brings up its sub-features on the server side, so a full enablement is a single operation on the master.
Writes are idempotent (skipped when the current status already matches the requested state), the skill always reads before it writes, and an explicit confirm-to-write checkpoint is required before any mutation.
What this skill controls
| Preference (Setup UI label) | In scope |
|---|---|
| Incident Management enablement (master) | Yes — read and toggle |
| Default Field Validations for Incidents, Auto Closure of Child Incidents, Email-to-Incident sub-toggles, Incident Priority Matrix, Problem/Change/Case Management, ITSM External Client App setup | No |
For the exact URLs, wire shapes, and worked examples for the master read and write, see references/mcp-invocation.md.
Scope
- In scope: read and toggle the master Incident Management preference.
- Out of scope: Default Field Validations for Incidents (
IncidentValidationsEnabled); Incident Priority Matrix configuration; Auto Closure of Child Incidents and Email-to-Incident sub-toggles; Problem Management; Change Management; Case Management; ITSM External Client App setup; other ITSM prefs (IncidentTriageAgentEnabled,IncAssignWithAgentEnabled,AssignedGroupValidationEnabled); broadcast-channel prefs; creation or configuration of Incident, Problem, or ChangeRequest records.
Preconditions
Before the skill can call anything on headless-360, the target org and MCP client must be configured. If any of these are unmet, the tools will surface as 401, 403, or 404 on the first call; do not fabricate state — surface the raw error and stop.
- Server activated on the org: Setup → MCP Servers →
headless-360→ Activate. Activation can take up to ~2 minutes. - External Client App wired: an ECA in the org with OAuth scopes
mcp_apiandrefresh_token, JWT-based access tokens enabled, PKCE required. ECA propagation can take up to 30 minutes. - API v67.0+: required for the read and write routes this skill uses.
- MCP client registration: the client (adk-eval / Claude Code) has an
additionalServers.headless-360entry pointing to the correct env URL (seereferences/mcp-invocation.md).
If any precondition fails, the tools return one of:
401 Unauthorized→ ECA not propagated, wrong scopes, or expired token.403 Forbidden→ user lacks perm, or org missingIncidentMgmt.orgHasITSMOrgPermission.404 Not Found→ server not activated on the org.
Report the raw response verbatim rather than guessing which precondition failed.
Architecture — How configuration works
| Step | What happens | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Preflight | Confirm the target routes are reachable | describe, dispatch_readonly |
| Read schema | Fetch the request/response contract for the read and the write | describe |
| Read current state | Fetch the current status of the master preference | dispatch_readonly |
| Decide operation | View / enable / disable — inferred from the prompt | — |
| Confirm-to-write | Present (status: current → requested) and require explicit "yes" | — |
| Apply change | Enable or disable the master via the write route | dispatch |
| Verify | Re-read and compare against the requested state | dispatch_readonly |
Idempotency: after the Phase-3 read, if the current state already matches the requested state, skip Phase 5 and treat the operation as a no-op. references/mcp-invocation.md documents the exact status field and match rule.
Read-only tool selection: use dispatch_readonly for the read. Use dispatch for the write. The server refuses mutating operations through dispatch_readonly.
Wire shape: dispatch and dispatch_readonly both take {"url": "/services/data/...", "method": "GET|POST|PATCH|...", "body"?: {...}, "query_params"?: {...}}. See references/mcp-invocation.md for the exact request/response shapes; call describe at runtime to confirm.
Clarifying Questions
Ask only what is not already in conversation context:
| Field | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Requested direction | Explicit enable / disable (or on / off) | REQUIRED — no defaults; ask if the user only said "toggle" without a direction |
| Confirm write | Explicit "yes" before any dispatch mutation | REQUIRED — see Phase 4 |
If the user says "toggle" without specifying a direction, ask for the direction before Phase 4. Do not infer it from the current state.
Workflow
All steps run against the headless-360 MCP server; the tool namespace is mcp__headless-360__<tool-name>.
Phase 0 — Reuse what the session already knows
Each preflight read below carries a skip-if-already-known clause. Before calling any read endpoint, check whether an earlier turn in this session already produced the same fact from a successful tool response tied to the current org (a prior invocation of this skill, a parent orchestrator's live read, or an earlier dispatch_readonly this run). An explicit user statement is NOT a substitute for a live read of the master preference — user assertions can be stale or mistaken, and this skill relies on the read being the source of truth for the confirmation payload and the Phase-6 idempotency verify. When the only source is a user statement, re-read.
- `describe` of the master read/write routes — if the request/response schemas were already fetched against the current org this session, skip Phase 1 and Phase 2 and reuse the cached schema.
describeoutput is stable within a session. - Current master preference state — if the master
IncidentMgmtEnabledvalue for the current org was already read this session via a successful `dispatch_readonly` response (Phase 3 result from an earlier run of this skill, or a parent orchestrator that already asked us to check), skip Phase 3 and reuse the recorded "before" value. A user's verbal claim that the switch is on or off is not cache-eligible.
When in doubt, re-check. Skip only when the earlier fact is unambiguously in context AND you have not switched orgs — the headless-360 MCP session binds to one org via the JWT, so an org change is only possible if the session was re-authed mid-conversation. If the user hints at a different org, or you cannot tell which org the earlier fact came from, re-run the read. Note: any dispatch write elsewhere in the session that could have flipped the master (this skill's Phase 5, or an admin change via another tool) also invalidates the cache — re-read. A wrong skip on a live org write is worse than a duplicated read.
Phase 1 — Preflight (discover / describe)
- (Skip if the operation schemas were already verified this session — see Phase 0.) Call
describeon the read/write routes (ordiscoverwith a query like"ITSM incident management setup discovery"if the operation IDs are unknown). Confirm the operations exist and their argument schemas matchreferences/mcp-invocation.md. - If any tool call returns
401/403/404, halt and surface the raw error — the org or client is not configured correctly (see Preconditions).
Phase 2 — Load Schemas (describe)
- (Skip if the schema for each operation is already cached this session — see Phase 0.) For each operation the invocation will use, call
describeand cache the returned request/response schema. Do not hard-code the argument shape from the reference doc — read it fromdescribe; the docs are a working expectation, the runtime contract is whateverdescribereturns.
Phase 3 — Read Current State (dispatch_readonly)
