deploy

Deploy a structured ReleaseSpec to a project: define database migrations, functions, site files, routes, and secret requirements. Returns release ID, URLs, and warnings.

Instructions

Unified deploy primitive (v1.34+). Accepts a structured ReleaseSpec — database (migrations + expose), value-free secrets.require/delete declarations, functions, site, site.public_paths, subdomains, and routes.replace web routes — with explicit replace vs patch semantics per resource. Use site.public_paths for clean static URLs such as /events backed by release asset events.html; explicit mode does not expose /events.html unless separately declared, while mode: 'implicit' restores filename-derived reachability and can widen access. Route entries map exact/final-wildcard browser paths like /admin and /admin/* to Node 22 Fetch Request -> Response functions, or exact GET/HEAD method-aware static aliases such as /events to { type: 'static', file: 'events.html' }; intentional read-only GET/HEAD wildcard function routes may set acknowledge_readonly: true. Direct /functions/v1/:name remains API-key protected. Secret values must be set first with set_secret, never placed in deploy specs. All bytes ride through CAS (no inline-body cap). Returns release_id, URLs, warnings, and a structured progress-event log. Stops before upload/commit on confirmation-required warnings unless reviewed codes are passed with allow_warning_codes or allow_warnings is true.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYesProject ID to deploy to (from provision).
baseNoDiff base. Default `{ release: 'current' }`. Use `{ release: 'empty' }` for a fresh deploy that fails if a release already exists.
databaseNo
secretsNo
functionsNo
siteNo
assetsNov1.48 unified-apply assets slice. Asset writes promote inside the same activation transaction as functions/site/secrets so a release flips atomically.
subdomainsNoAt most one subdomain per project — multi-element `set` is rejected with SUBDOMAIN_MULTI_NOT_SUPPORTED.
routesNoDeploy-v2 web routes. Omit or pass null to carry forward base routes; pass { replace: [] } to clear routes; pass { replace: [{ pattern, methods?, target: { type: 'function', name } }] } for functions or exact GET/HEAD { target: { type: 'static', file } } entries for method-aware static route aliases. Prefer site.public_paths for ordinary clean static URLs.
i18nNoRouted-locale-context release slice. Omit to carry forward from base release; pass null to clear the slice; pass { defaultLocale, locales, detect? } to replace. Drives the negotiated locale that the gateway surfaces to routed HTTP function invocations via x-run402-locale and x-run402-default-locale request headers (omitted entirely when the active release has no i18n slice). Static-route hits do NOT receive locale negotiation.
idempotency_keyNoOptional client idempotency key. Combined with the project id and gateway-computed manifest digest to deduplicate retries.
allow_warningsNoContinue past plan warnings that require confirmation. Default false: the tool stops before upload/commit so an agent can set missing secrets or inspect warnings.
allow_warning_codesNoContinue past specific reviewed plan warning codes. Prefer this to allow_warnings when only one known warning class is intentional.
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that deploy uses CAS, stops on warnings unless allowed, returns release_id/URLs/warnings/progress log, and that asset writes are atomic. It does not mention auth requirements, but overall it provides substantial behavioral context beyond the schema.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Description is quite lengthy (10+ sentences) with dense information. While front-loaded with the purpose, it packs many details that could be overwhelming. Each sentence adds value, but conciseness is sacrificed for completeness.

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?

Given 13 parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description covers behavior, return values, and important constraints like idempotency, atomicity, and warning handling. It leaves out some edge cases and auth details, but is reasonably complete for a complex tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Description adds significant meaning beyond the input schema: explains secrets.require 'Set values first with set_secret; never put secret values in deploy specs', site.public_paths explicit vs implicit modes, route acknowledge_readonly, and database migration id+checksum semantics. With 69% schema coverage, description compensates well.

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?

Description clearly states it's a 'unified deploy primitive' for deploying a project with database, secrets, functions, site, assets, routes, etc. This distinguishes it from siblings like deploy_function (single function) and deploy_site (site only). Verb+resource is clear: 'deploy' a 'structured ReleaseSpec'.

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?

Description provides explicit guidance: 'Secret values must be set first with set_secret', 'Stops before upload/commit on confirmation-required warnings', and 'Prefer site.public_paths for ordinary clean static URLs.' It does not directly say when to use alternative tools like deploy_function, but the 'unified' label implies full deploys.

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