## Query String Parameters

- `page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 10000 · default: 1)
  Page number (1-indexed). Defaults to 1.
- `per_page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 100 · default: 20)
  Number of events per page. Defaults to 20.
- `from` (string · pattern: ^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]|\d\d[13579][26]|\d\d0[48]|[02468][048]00|[13579][26]00)-02-29|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])|(?:0[469]|11)-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d(?::[0-5]\d(?:\.\d+)?)?(?:Z))$)
  Inclusive ISO datetime lower bound on the event timestamp; overrides the default 24-hour window. Independent of alert_ids — e.g. set it to an alert’s start time to scope results to that alert’s lifetime.
- `to` (string · pattern: ^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]|\d\d[13579][26]|\d\d0[48]|[02468][048]00|[13579][26]00)-02-29|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])|(?:0[469]|11)-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d(?::[0-5]\d(?:\.\d+)?)?(?:Z))$)
  Inclusive ISO datetime upper bound on the event timestamp.
- `alert_ids` ([] string · min: 1 · max: 50)
  Alert filter. Narrows events to those referencing at least one of the provided alert IDs.
- `sort_field` (enum  · default: dispatched_at)
  Sort field. Defaults to "dispatched_at".
  Values: `dispatched_at`
- `sort_order` (enum  · default: desc)
  Sort direction. Defaults to "desc".
  Values: `asc`, `desc`
- `search` (string · min: 1 · max: 256)
  Free-text search. Matches policy name, rule name, policy/rule ID (case-insensitive).
- `rule_ids` ([] string · min: 1 · max: 50)
  Explicit rule filter. Narrows events to those referencing at least one of the provided rule IDs. Also unions with the search filter if both are provided.
- `outcomes` ([] enum  · min: 1 · max: 3)
  Outcome filter. When omitted matches all outcomes. Pass one or more of "success", "throttled", "failure" to narrow.
  Values: `success`, `throttled`, `failure`

## Responses

#### `200`

Returns a paginated list of execution history events.

`application/json`

- `items` ([] object)
  - `action_group_count` (number)
  - `alert_count` (number)
  - `alerts` ([] object · max: 50)
    Alert IDs referenced by this event, bounded to 50. Empty when the event references no alerts. Use `alert_count` for the true total.
    - `id` (string)
  - `dispatched_at` (string · pattern: ^(?:(?:\d\d[2468][048]|\d\d[13579][26]|\d\d0[48]|[02468][048]00|[13579][26]00)-02-29|\d{4}-(?:(?:0[13578]|1[02])-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])|(?:0[469]|11)-(?:0[1-9]|[12]\d|30)|(?:02)-(?:0[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])))T(?:(?:[01]\d|2[0-3]):[0-5]\d(?::[0-5]\d(?:\.\d+)?)?(?:Z))$)
  - `error` (object)
    Failure details. Omitted when the dispatch did not fail.
    - `message` (string)
    - `stack_trace` (string)
      Omitted when the source recorded no trace.
  - `failure_reason` (enum)
    Values: `missing_api_key`, `workflow_not_found`, `workflow_disabled`, `schedule_error`, `license_not_supported`
  - `outcome` (enum)
    Values: `success`, `throttled`, `failure`
  - `policy` (object)
    - `id` (string)
    - `name` (string)
      Omitted when the referenced resource could not be resolved.
  - `rule_count` (number)
    Number of rules referenced by this event after search or rule-filter narrowing. Unlike `total` on a list response, this is an exact count and it can exceed `rules.length` when the embedded array is truncated to the cap.
  - `rules` ([] object · max: 20)
    Rules referenced by this event, bounded to 20. When a search or rule filter narrows the match, this array is intersected with the matched subset server-side. Use `rule_count` for the full count.
    - `id` (string)
    - `name` (string)
      Omitted when the referenced resource could not be resolved.
  - `workflows` ([] object · max: 100)
    - `id` (string)
    - `name` (string)
      Omitted when the referenced resource could not be resolved.
- `page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 9007199254740991)
- `per_page` (integer · min: 1 · max: 9007199254740991)
- `search_matches` (object)
  Per-type match counts for the active search. Omitted when no search was provided. When is_truncated is true the server ID filter was capped and the result may be truncated.
  - `is_truncated` (boolean)
    True when the server filter cap was reached and results may be truncated.
  - `policies` (number)
    Policies matching the search. This count is an estimate: results above 10,000 may be reported as 10,000.
  - `rules` (number)
    Rules matching the search. This count is an estimate: results above 10,000 may be reported as 10,000.
- `total` (integer · min: 0 · max: 9007199254740991)
  The number of action policy events matching the query. This count is an estimate: results above 10,000 may be reported as 10,000.
