Executive Summary
Vercel has introduced a new command, `vercel alerts`, for its Command Line Interface (CLI), enabling developers to access and manage anomaly alerts directly from the terminal. This update allows users to list alerts for teams or projects and view details such as start time and status. An optional `--ai` flag provides AI-powered investigation results inline, streamlining the process of acting on alerts without leaving the command line.
