Description

Hi!

I'm trying to integrate advisories / alerts from socket.dev into an agentic workflow.

For that, I need a programmatic way to fetch alert details — a json representation of what the web UI gives on https://socket.dev/dashboard/org/acme/alerts?view=vulnerabilities&alert_item_key=QI5JxYFnX5[....]cl3QBRp-s0 — i.e. something morally equivalent to gh api advisories/<GHSA> which returns full GHSA advisories by key; except for Socket.

I've installed the CLI and connected an access token via socket login. It works, but I'm not finding any option to fetch alert details by alert key.

I've checked the docs: CLI FAQ, Socket MCP, REST API. None of the facilities seems to provide what I need.

Am I missing something? How to programmatically fetch alert details from Socket?

Done would mean an agreed programmatic way to retrieve alert details by alert key, with its JSON response and supported interface documented and tested.
