Searching for Issues which are no older that 7 days yields no results although there are matching Issues

[cee-dee]

Environment

• Remote Sentry MCP
• Cursor AI

Steps to Reproduce

Issue command with model Claude 4 Sonnet Thinking:
Give me all Sentry issues in organization xyz, project abc with level:fatal AND pluginIdentifier:id123 which are no older than 7 days.

Expected Result

You get the 10 issues.

Actual Result

You get 0 results, although there are about 10 issues.
I performs this tool call:

{
  "organizationSlug": "xyz",
  "projectSlug": "abc",
  "query": "level:fatal pluginIdentifier:id123 age:-7d",
  "regionUrl": "https://us.sentry.io",
  "sortBy": "last_seen"
}

Notes

Probably age:-7d is the wrong semantics. If I specify age:-7d in Discover on the Sentry website, I also get 0 results. I need to apply the date range filtering outside of the query.

This def used to work in our core issues search (the age syntax). That said I've yet to get this thing to generate good queries. its on my TODO, but I am worried that we need to pipe them to a dedicated agent which can funnel in a ton of context for query syntax

[cee-dee]

Not sure, if I get the root issue right -- but is there a workaround like prompting the right tool-call?
What is the proper syntax to get the search right?

@cee-dee what id suggest is testing this in the UI to see what query you want to build - you can def tell it to just pass that kind of query then via the MCP

what i want to ultimately do is expose an agent here that can help us craft these queries better, but there might be some quick wins we can make

right now im working on exposing sentry's docs via the MCP+RAG so at least it can look up information
