What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• runzero_get_help

  Look up structured guidance on platform concepts and conventions. Topics: workflow, files, addons, procfile, domains. Call this whenever you need to understand addons, the Procfile/PORT convention, or the typical workflow for a new app. Returns markdown.

• runzero_list_apps

  List the apps the authenticated user has access to (own + collaborated), newest first — one compact row each (name, slug, url, kind, status, flags). Details of one app: runzero_get_app.

• runzero_get_app

  Get one app: slug, status, publish mode, services (URL, replicas, health, env var NAMES), addons, domains. Secret values are never returned.

• runzero_create_app

  Create a new app. Optionally links to a Git repository — if no repo is given, you can attach one later.

• runzero_list_templates

  List the curated template library: finished, deployed page designs (landing pages, shops, portfolios …) that can be adopted as the starting point of a NEW app instead of building from scratch. Each entry has a live URL and a screenshot URL plus kind/industries/tags for matching.

• runzero_adopt_template

  Create a NEW app as a full copy of a template from runzero_list_templates: app + repo + running instance, owned by the caller. Use this INSTEAD of runzero_create_app when a template matches the request, then adapt the copy (texts, colors, images — placeholder assets keep their pa

• runzero_list_services

  List the services (runtime processes) of an app with their build source, port, replicas and status.

• runzero_get_logs

  Get the runtime log output of one service (stdout/stderr of its running containers), last N lines.

• runzero_get_metrics

  CPU and memory usage of a service over a time window (default last hour). Returns per-pod current/min/max/avg — CPU in millicores, memory in MiB — not raw time series, to stay compact.

• runzero_screenshot

  SEE the deployed page with your own eyes: renders the live URL in a real browser and returns fresh screenshots as images — desktop (1280×800) and/or mobile (390×844). Use it after runzero_wait_for_build to review the visual result like a designer would (spacing, contrast, overlap

• runzero_rebuild_service

  Rebuild a service from the latest commit of its repo branch; on success the new version rolls out to the live URL. Use after an external repo changed; pushes via runzero_push_files rebuild on their own.

• runzero_delete_app

  Permanently delete an app with all its services, addons (including database data), secrets and domains. Irreversible: only on an explicit request, and name the app back to the user before calling.

• runzero_deploy

  Deploy an app. Fetches the repo and checks for run-zero.yaml (or the older itdone.yaml). If found, syncs all services + addons + domains from config. If not, deploys the repo as a single service. Services missing from the config are scaled to 0; with prune=true they are DELETED.

• runzero_deploy_preview

  Preview what a deploy would change without making any changes. Use this before runzero_deploy to verify the diff.

• runzero_add_service

  Add a new service to an app. Clones the repo, builds with buildpacks, and deploys. The web process must listen on $PORT.

• runzero_delete_service

  Permanently delete one service of an app: its running containers, its public URL and its configuration. Irreversible, and it also deletes the persistent volume of the service with all its backups; to only stop it, scale it to 0 with runzero_scale_service.

• runzero_scale_service

  Set the replica count of a service (0-10). Scaling to 0 takes the service offline (its URL stops answering) without deleting it; scale up again to bring it back. A service with a persistent volume runs 0 or 1 replicas and keeps its data at 0.

• runzero_volume_status

  Show the persistent volume of a service: mount path, size, last backup, the backups that can be restored, and the state of a running or last restore. Volumes are declared under `volumes:` in run-zero.yaml (runzero_get_help topic files).

• runzero_backup_volume

  Start a backup of the persistent volume now, on top of the automatic daily one. The service keeps running. It runs in the background; runzero_volume_status lists it once it is finished.

• runzero_restore_volume

  Replace the data on the persistent volume with a backup. The service stops, the current data is backed up first, the backup is unpacked, and the service starts again. Takes minutes; follow it with runzero_volume_status (`restore.phase` ends at `done`, with `error` if it failed an

• runzero_set_secrets

  Set one or more environment variables for an app or a specific service. Existing keys are overwritten; other keys are preserved. Affected services are redeployed automatically.

• runzero_list_secrets

  List the secret keys for an app (values are never returned). Includes both app-wide and per-service secrets.

• runzero_delete_secret

  Delete a single secret from an app or a service. Affected services are redeployed automatically.

• runzero_list_builds

  List recent build records for an app. Returns kpack Build status (success/failed/running) per service. To WAIT for a build to finish, use runzero_wait_for_build instead of calling this in a loop.

• runzero_list_versions

  Earlier versions of a service that can be put back online, newest first. Each entry has an `image` (pass it to runzero_activate_version or runzero_preview_version), when it was built, and `summary` — the commit message, i.e. what changed. `active: true` marks what is online now.

• runzero_preview_version

  Show an earlier version under a SECOND address without touching the live site — use this whenever the user wants to look before deciding. Returns a url; the pod needs a few seconds, so a first request may fail — retry once. Pass `stop: true` (without `image`) to tear the preview

• runzero_work_url

  The URL where this app's UNPUBLISHED changes can be looked at, and a link that opens it (the plain hostname refuses without one). Call this after EVERY change to an app that publishes on request, and give the user the link with a plain sentence: their change is on the preview, th

• runzero_list_releases

  What the user has PUBLISHED, newest first, with the sentence they described each change with, and which one visitors see right now. This is the list to use when someone says "wie letzte Woche" or "vor der Umgestaltung" — not runzero_list_versions, which lists every build includin

• runzero_publish

  Put the waiting changes on the real site — this is what VISITORS see, so only ever on an explicit request ("mach das live", "veröffentliche das"), never on your own initiative after finishing a change. Write `description` in the user's own words and in their language ("Tag der of

• runzero_restore_release

  Put an earlier published state back on the real site. Use the id from runzero_list_releases. This CHANGES what visitors see. It does not touch the code: anything changed since is still there and still waiting, so this undoes what is published, not the work. If the user wants an a

• runzero_set_publish_mode

  Switch between publishing every change immediately (auto) and collecting changes on a preview until the user releases them (manual). Explain the consequence before switching to manual: from then on nothing reaches their visitors until they say so, which is the point but also a wa

• runzero_activate_version

  Put an earlier version back online — this CHANGES what visitors see. Only do this when the user explicitly asks to go back; never on your own initiative after a failed build (fix the code instead). While an older version is active, new builds are built but NOT published, until yo

• runzero_wait_for_build

  Wait server-side until the newest build of an app is finished AND the new version is serving traffic — use this INSTEAD of polling runzero_list_builds, sleeping, or re-checking the site in a loop. Blocks up to 45 seconds per call and returns {status: "success" | "failed" | "runni

• runzero_get_build_logs

  Get the full log stream for a specific build (all kpack steps concatenated). Use runzero_list_builds first to find the build id.

• runzero_push_files

  Push changes into the app's Git repository as ONE atomic commit (create, patch, and delete in a single push). CHANGING an existing file? Use `edits` — an exact-snippet replacement, like your editor's edit tool. Use `files` only to create a NEW file or to genuinely rewrite one end

• runzero_list_files

  List all files in the app's Git repository (platform-managed repos only). Optionally filter by path prefix.

• runzero_read_file

  Read a file from the app's Git repository (platform-managed repos only), UTF-8. Returns at most 250 lines per call (a note at the end says how to continue) — read the part you need with startLine/endLine instead of the whole file; every returned line is paid for on every later st

• runzero_upload_assets

  Get the dashboard upload link for an app so the USER can upload binary assets (icons, images, fonts) via drag & drop — real bytes, nothing travels through the model. Give the returned URL to the user, wait until they confirm the upload, then call runzero_list_files with path 'ass

• runzero_list_users

  List the end-users of an app's login realm (requires the app's keycloak addon). Returns id, username, email and enabled state.

• runzero_create_user

  Create an end-user in the app's login realm. Returns the generated password ONCE if none is given — relay it to the user, it cannot be retrieved later.

• runzero_delete_user

  Permanently delete an end-user (account, sessions, login data) from the app's login realm. Irreversible; to only block the login use runzero_set_user_enabled.

• runzero_reset_user_password

  Replace an end-user's password in the app's login realm; the old one stops working at once. Returns the new password ONCE (generated if none given).

• runzero_set_user_enabled

  Enable or disable (block) an end-user in the app's login realm. A disabled user cannot log in but is not deleted.

• runzero_list_identity_providers

  List external login providers (Google, GitHub, …) configured on the app's login realm. Secrets are never returned.

• runzero_create_identity_provider

  Add an external login provider (Google, GitHub, Microsoft, generic OIDC/SAML) to the app's login realm, so end-users can sign in with it. You need an OAuth client id/secret from the provider first. IMPORTANT: the response contains a redirect URI that the user must register in the

• runzero_generate_image

  Generate an image with AI (FLUX) and commit it into the app's repo. Costs credits. Use for hero images, backgrounds, illustrations. The file is committed at the given path (e.g. assets/hero.jpg), replacing a file already there, and a rebuild is triggered; reference it in the code

• runzero_db_query

  Run one SQL statement against an app's PostgreSQL addon (owner/admin only). Read-only by default: the statement runs in a READ ONLY transaction that is rolled back. With allow_write=true it CAN WRITE: INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE and DDL (DROP, ALTER, TRUNCATE) are committed immediately

• runzero_describe_addon

  Show exactly which environment variables an addon injects into an attached service, straight from the platform (the source of truth — use this instead of guessing env var names). Call it BEFORE writing code that reads addon credentials.

• runzero_get_legal_profile

  Get the user's saved legal profile (their Impressum details: name/company, address, contact, and for a company the representative, register and VAT id). Read this BEFORE asking the user for Impressum data, so you reuse what they already gave and only ask for what is missing. Retu

• runzero_set_legal_profile

  Save or update the user's legal profile so it is reused across their apps and the legal pages can be regenerated. Send only what the user actually provided; omitted fields are cleared. NEVER invent legal data.
