Implementation Reference
- src/tools/handlers.ts:247-252 (handler)The handler implementation for the 'execute_command' tool. It validates the required 'uuid' and 'command' parameters and returns an error indicating that the feature is not supported by the Coolify API.case 'execute_command': requireParam(args, 'uuid'); requireParam(args, 'command'); // This endpoint doesn't exist in Coolify API return { error: 'Execute command endpoint is not available in Coolify API. This feature is not supported via the API.' };
- src/tools/definitions.ts:476-487 (schema)JSON Schema definition for the 'execute_command' tool input, including parameters, descriptions, and requirements. Also includes the tool description used for MCP tool listing.name: 'execute_command', description: 'Execute a command in an application container. NOTE: This endpoint is not available in Coolify API and will return an error.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { uuid: { type: 'string', description: 'Application UUID' }, command: { type: 'string', description: 'Command to execute' }, confirm: { type: 'boolean', description: 'Confirm the dangerous operation (required when COOLIFY_REQUIRE_CONFIRM=true)' } }, required: ['uuid', 'command'] } },
- src/types.ts:164-167 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the input structure for the execute_command tool.export interface ExecuteCommandInput { uuid: string; command: string; }
