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, 30-day expiry (90 days once signed in). Pro ($4/mo): up to 10,000 files, custom or no TTL, named drops.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ttlNoLifetime in seconds (min 60). Anonymous: max 2592000 (30 days), default 30 days. Signed-in free: max 7776000 (90 days), default 90 days. Paid: any value, omit for no expiry.
nameNoStable name for a redeployable drop (1-41 chars of [a-z0-9-]). Requires an active subscription; Team accounts serve it on their vanity subdomain.
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

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYes
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 with claim_url: one sentence on keeping the page 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.

  14. First observed

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, non-idempotent, open world. The description adds useful behavioral context: tier limits (100/10,000 files), TTL expiry (30/90/custom days), and anonymous vs signed-in differences. With annotations present the bar is lower, and this clears it by explaining the operational constraints.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single sentence with three clauses, front-loaded on the core action and immediately followed by the tier constraints. Every clause earns its place.

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?

For a multi-file deploy tool with annotations, full schema coverage, and an output schema, the description covers the essential scope (file map, required index.html, tier limits). It could mention what happens on redeploy or how the return relates to claim tokens, but the output schema carries that.

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 baseline is 3. The description implies ttl tier behavior and named drops match the schema docs, but it adds no syntax or format detail beyond what the schema already provides for name, ttl, password, and files.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific verb and resource: deploy a map of path -> content as a multi-file site. The index.html root-serving constraint sharpens the purpose and distinguishes it from the sibling deploy_html, which handles single files.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The tier table clearly explains when each tier applies (anonymous, signed-in, Pro) and the file/expiry limits. It doesn't explicitly say when to choose this tool over deploy_html or append_files, leaving that comparison to be inferred from names.

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