| container_actionB | Start, stop, restart, pause, unpause, or remove a container. |
| container_createB | Create a new container from an image. |
| container_logsB | Get container logs. ANSI codes stripped, capped at max tail. |
| container_execA | Run a command in a running container. Output capped at 200 lines / 10KB. |
| image_queryA | Query Docker images: list all images or inspect a specific image by name or ID. |
| image_actionB | Perform actions on Docker images: pull, remove, tag, or push. |
| image_buildB | Build a Docker image from a context (tar file path) and optional Dockerfile. |
| volume_queryB | List or inspect Docker volumes. |
| volume_actionB | Create or remove a Docker volume. |

| system_dfA | Return Docker disk usage: breakdown by containers, images, volumes, and build cache. Output is already compact — shipped raw. |
| system_pruneA | Prune unused Docker resources by scope and return a summary of reclaimed space. Use scope "all" to prune every category and aggregate reclaimed bytes. |
