## Description

Set the workflow status of one or more Elastic Security alerts (signals) by ID via POST /api/detection_engine/signals/status. Run **Search Alerts** first to obtain signal IDs. Example: calling with `alertStatus: "closed"`, `signalIds: ["abc123"]`, `reason: "false_positive"` returns `{ updated: 1, version_conflicts: 0 }`. [See the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/kibana/operation/operation-setalertsstatus)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `alertStatus` | `string` | Yes | New alert status. One of: open, acknowledged, in-progress, closed. This is the alert's own workflow status, distinct from a case's status. |
| `signalIds` | `string[]` | Yes | Signal (alert) IDs to update; at least one required. Run Search Alerts first to obtain IDs (the _id field of each hit). Mapped to the API field signal_ids. |
| `reason` | `string` | No | Optional reason for the status change (e.g. false_positive, duplicate, true_positive, benign_positive, automated_closure, other, or a custom string). |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,

        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "elastic_security",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "elastic_security-update-alert-status",
  arguments: {
    alertStatus: "Alert Status",
    signalIds: ["Signal IDs"],
  },
})
```
