compose_stop
Stop Docker Compose services without removing containers, networks, or volumes, so you can restart them later with compose_start.
Instructions
Stop services in a compose project without removing their containers.
Unlike compose_down, containers/networks/volumes survive — use compose_start to bring them back.
args:
project_dir - Dir with the compose file (default: server cwd; copied to the target host if no local plugin)
files - Explicit compose file paths (repeatable, -f)
project_name - Compose project name override
services - Specific services to stop (default: all)
stop_timeout_seconds - Grace period before SIGKILL (passed as --timeout)
timeout_seconds - Subprocess timeout (default 300s)
returns: dict - {"returncode": int, "stdout": str, "stderr": str, "truncated": bool}
