Deploy a multi-file site

deploy_files
Destructive

Deploy a map of path -> content as a multi-file site (must include index.html to serve at the root). Anonymous: up to 100 files per request, 7-day expiry (30 days once signed in). Pro ($4/mo): up to 10,000 files, custom or no TTL, named drops.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ttlNoLifetime in seconds (min 60). Anonymous: max 604800 (7 days), default 7 days. Signed-in free: max 2592000 (30 days), default 30 days. A longer ttl is capped at the max. Paid: any value, omit for no expiry.
nameNoStable name for a redeployable drop (1-41 chars of [a-z0-9-]). Requires an active subscription; the URL stays the same across redeploys.
agentNoName of the AI agent or app publishing this drop, e.g. 'chatgpt', 'claude', 'cursor'. AI agents: always set this.
emailNoContact email for an anonymous deploy: the one-time claim link is mailed to it, so the drop stays recoverable even if the claim_token from the response is lost. Pass it whenever the deploy is for a human. Ignored for authenticated deploys (those are owned already).
filesYesMap of relative paths (e.g. 'index.html', 'css/app.css') to either a string, or { encoding: 'base64', content } for binary files.
passwordNoShared password: 8-128 Unicode characters, at most 512 UTF-8 bytes. Requires active paid Pro/Team. Sent privately, never in the URL or response. Omit on a live named redeploy to preserve protection. Recreating an expired or purged name is a new drop: send the password again.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYes
hintNoPresent when the requested ttl was over the plan's maximum and was capped to it.
nameNo
planYes
slugYesDrop slug; the site is live at https://<slug>.ship.place/
filesYes
replacedNoPresent with named deploys; true when an existing drop was replaced
claim_urlNoPresent on anonymous deploys: a browser link that saves the drop to whichever account opens it. It carries the claim token, so keep it private.
next_stepNoPresent when an API or MCP deploy expires: when the page expires and how to keep it online, written to be passed on to the person the page was made for.
expires_atYesISO timestamp, or null when the drop never expires
claim_emailNoPresent when email was accepted on an anonymous deploy; the claim link was mailed to this address.
claim_tokenNoOne-time claim token (spc_...), present only on anonymous deploys and shown once. Anyone holding it can attach the drop to an account via claim_drop.
password_protectedYes

  16. First observed

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and idempotentHint=false. The description adds meaningful operational context beyond those annotations: anonymous file limits, 7-day expiry, 30-day signed-in retention, paid-tier max files and TTL behavior, and named drops. It does not fully explain overwrite or purge semantics for named redeploys, but it substantially improves transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a compact, front-loaded paragraph that leads with the core action and then layers on constraints and tier information. The parenthetical tier details are dense but relevant. There is little wasted text, though the sentence could be split for easier scanning.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool is complex, with six parameters, nested file objects, annotations, and an output schema. The description covers the essential payload requirement, tier limits, expiry behavior, and named drops, while the output schema handles return values. It leaves some sibling-routing and redeploy-overwrite details implicit, but is otherwise complete enough to invoke correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents ttl, name, agent, email, files, and password in detail. The description reinforces tier limits and the index.html requirement, which adds some framing beyond the schema. Because most parameter-level meaning is already in the schema, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: deploy a map of path -> content as a multi-file site. It also gives a key structural constraint that index.html must be included to serve at the root. It is clearly distinct from a generic deploy, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with sibling deploy_html or append_files.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage through file-count and TTL tiers, and the index.html requirement tells the agent when a payload is valid. However, it does not explicitly say when to choose this over deploy_html for single-file HTML or append_files for incremental changes. Usage guidance is therefore present but inferred rather than stated.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
