unpause_dag

Resume scheduled runs for a paused Airflow DAG by unpausing it, allowing the scheduler to create new runs based on the DAG's schedule interval.

Instructions

Unpause a DAG to allow scheduled runs to resume.

Use this tool when the user asks to:

  • "Unpause DAG X" or "Resume DAG Y"

  • "Enable DAG Z" or "Start DAG scheduling again"

  • "Turn on DAG X" or "Activate DAG Y"

When a DAG is unpaused:

  • The scheduler will create new runs based on the schedule

  • Any missed runs (depending on catchup setting) may be created

  • The DAG will appear active in the UI

IMPORTANT: This is a write operation that modifies Airflow state. New DAG runs will be scheduled according to the DAG's schedule_interval.

Args: dag_id: The ID of the DAG to unpause (e.g., "example_dag")

Returns: JSON with updated DAG details showing is_paused=False
