Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_containersB | List Docker containers with optional filters (state, label, name). Returns container IDs, names, images, states, ports, and labels. |
| inspect_containerA | Get detailed configuration and state of a Docker container by ID or name. |
| start_containerA | Start a stopped Docker container by ID or name. |
| stop_containerA | Stop a running Docker container by ID or name with optional timeout. |
| restart_containerC | Restart a Docker container by ID or name with optional timeout. |
| remove_containerA | Remove a Docker container by ID or name. Use force to remove running containers. |
| recreate_containerA | Recreate a container with the same configuration (stop, remove, re-create). Useful for applying config changes. |
| run_containerA | Create and start a new Docker container with one command. Supports image, env, ports, volumes, restart policy, and command override. Auto-pulls missing images. |
| list_imagesA | List Docker images with optional filters. Returns image IDs, tags, sizes, and creation dates. |
| pull_imageB | Pull a Docker image from a registry. Returns pull progress events. |
| build_imageB | Build a Docker image from a Dockerfile or build context path. |
| remove_imageA | Remove a Docker image by name or ID. Use force to remove even if tagged. |
| compose_upB | Bring up Docker Compose services from a docker-compose.yml file. Optionally build images first. |
| compose_downA | Tear down Docker Compose services. Optionally remove named volumes. |
| compose_psB | List service states across a Docker Compose stack. |
| compose_logsC | Tail logs from Docker Compose services. Supports filtering by service and line count. |
| compose_restartB | Restart Docker Compose services. Restart specific services or the entire stack. |
| check_healthB | Run a health probe against a container. Supports HTTP, TCP, and exec probes. Auto-detects from container HEALTHCHECK if available. |
| watch_healthA | Poll a container's health status until it becomes healthy or times out. Useful for waiting on service startup. |
| set_restart_policyB | Change the restart policy of a running container without recreating it. |
| stream_logsC | Get logs from a Docker container. Supports tail count, timestamp filtering, and follow mode. |
| container_statsB | Get real-time resource usage statistics for a Docker container (CPU, memory, network, I/O). |
| exec_in_containerA | Execute a command inside a running Docker container. Returns stdout, stderr, and exit code. |
| list_networksA | List Docker networks with optional filter. Returns network IDs, names, drivers, and scopes. |
| list_volumesA | List Docker volumes with optional filter. Returns volume names, drivers, mount points, and labels. |
| container_health_statusA | Check health status, uptime, and restart count for all running Docker containers. Returns JSON with container name, state, health probe status, and restart count. |
| container_resource_usageA | Monitor CPU, memory, and network I/O across all running Docker containers. Returns sorted resource usage metrics with percentage breakdowns. |
| watch_eventsB | Stream Docker container events (start, stop, die, restart, health_status) over a configurable time window. Filter by specific container or event type. |
| search_logsA | Search Docker container logs across multiple containers using regex pattern matching. Returns matching log lines with container name and timestamp. |
| resource_alert_checkB | Alert when Docker containers exceed resource thresholds (CPU%, memory%, restart count). Returns violations with specific metrics that triggered alerts. |
| monitor_dashboardA | Comprehensive Docker fleet dashboard in a single API call. Returns health status, top resource consumers, recent events, and threshold violations. |
