# Incidents

An **incident** is recorded whenever a [scan](/secure-api/scanning-content.md) returns `flagged` or `blocked`. Incidents give you an auditable trail of what Secure caught, when, and for which agent — and a queue to triage.

### List incidents

`GET /v1/secure/incidents` — requires scope `secure:incidents:read`. Newest first.

**Query parameters**

| Param    | Description                                               |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `status` | Filter by `open`, `reviewed`, `dismissed`, or `resolved`. |
| `limit`  | Max incidents to return, `1`–`200`. Defaults to `50`.     |

### Correlating a scan to its incident

A [scan response](/secure-api/scanning-content.md) includes `incident_id` when it raised an incident. Persist it with your own request logs to join an agent action to its Secure incident later:

```
scan.data.incident_id  ⇄  incident.incident_id
```
