Tools (72)

• set_agents_override930 tok

  Patch one role's harness/model/effort/prompt for a single mission, layered over ship.yml per-field (a role or field this call omits keeps resolving from ship.yml — SHIP-337). Use promptContent or promptPath(+promptRef) to run an ephemeral prompt experiment (spec D9) without committing to the target repo. Read-modify-write: this call is merged onto the previously stored override record (via get_agents_override), so a prior set for a DIFFERENT role — or a different field on this same role, e.g. an earlier harness pin — survives; the underlying PUT is a full-record replace and would otherwise sil

• bind_mcp_server836 tok

  Create or update the binding for a server the repository declares. roles is the full set of pipeline roles that may use it (reviewer and qa only ever receive read-only tools, and cannot use a server that runs inside the sandbox). transport: 'remote' (the gateway proxies to the server's URL), 'isolate' (the gateway runs the server's npm package in isolation, for a command that needs a secret) or 'local' (the command runs inside the sandbox, no credential). Omit transport and remoteUrl on an update to keep the server the binding is pinned to, with its credential (a roles, tools or credential edi

• create_mission606 tok

  Create the tracker issue AND start the run in one call, for work that has no issue yet. Pass entryStartAt='builder' with an entryPlan to hand over a plan you already wrote; pass entryStartAt='reviewer'/'qa' with entryPrNumber to hand over an existing build — in which case title may be omitted and the pull request's own title names the mission. This tool calls the SHIP API, documented at https://letsship.ai/docs/api. Requires the missions:run token scope.

• create_scheduled_task601 tok

  Create a recurring agent mission. Firing it — on schedule, or immediately via run_scheduled_task — creates an ordinary tracker issue assigned to the agent, which drives a normal pipeline run: a scheduled task is a stored mission request, not a new execution mode. This tool calls the SHIP API, documented at https://letsship.ai/docs/api. Requires the config:write capability.

• update_scheduled_task548 tok

  Patch a scheduled task's name, prompt, schedule, skip-guard, or enabled state — only the fields passed are changed. To change the schedule, set interval/time/timezone together (plus weekday or dayOfMonth as the interval requires). This tool calls the SHIP API, documented at https://letsship.ai/docs/api. Requires the config:write capability.

• start_mission509 tok

  Hand a mission off to the AI agent team. Omit startAt for the default full run (planner first); pass startAt='builder' with a plan to skip straight to coding; pass startAt='reviewer' or startAt='qa' with an existing prNumber to hand off an existing build. Requires the missions:run token scope.

• start_credit_checkout426 tok

  Opens a payment page and returns its URL. Nothing is charged until the buyer pays on that page. It sells one credit pack, a monthly plan (offer team, with teamPlan starter or scale, a subscription that renews until cancelled), or extra credits for a workspace already on a plan (offer team_credits, for quantity credits at that plan's own price per credit, paid once, expiring with the plan month). Only a workspace on a plan can use team_credits. Only owners and admins can open a page. The server refuses the request while startNow is false, and the same idempotencyKey returns the same page.

• update_project411 tok

  Change the settings of one project; a field you leave out keeps its value. status paused or archived stops new missions in the project, and active starts them again. autoMerge sets whether SHIP merges a ready pull request by itself. defaultSandboxTemplateId sets the sandbox the agents start in (null for the platform base). repoFullName and linearTeamKey connect the project to another repository or Linear team through the organization's existing connections. Change only what a person asked for. Answers the project as it now stands. Requires the projects:admin scope and the config:write capabili

• save_sandbox_template384 tok

  Create a sandbox (omit templateId) or change one. A definition is Dockerfile steps on the platform base (RUN, ENV, ARG, WORKDIR, USER; no FROM). A changed definition or size becomes a new version and is built at once; the response carries that build. Refusals name the line or the size bound.

• list_agent_runs317 tok

  List the agent runs, live and finished, in the caller's accessible projects, newest first. Each run is one agent in its own sandbox. Returns id (the run's sandbox id), issueId, role, harness, status, instance type, and latest CPU/memory/disk metrics. When more runs match, nextCursor is set: pass it back as cursor, with the same filters, for the next page.

• watch_agent_run298 tok

  Wait on one agent run and follow what its agent does, instead of polling get_agent_run. The call returns when the run ends, when its mission moves to another stage, or after maxSeconds. While it waits, each agent event (a thought, a tool call, a plan update, an error) is sent as a progress notification when the request has a progress token. The result has the status of the run, the stage of its mission, ended, the reason it returned, the last 20 events and a cursor. When the run is still running, call it again with since set to the cursor. A run that already ended returns at once. If your clie

• list_missions288 tok

  List missions in the caller's accessible projects, newest activity first, with total for paging. Each has issueId, title, activity (what it does now), pipelineProgress, review/check/test state, PR, cost and paused. Archived missions are left out. Requires the missions:read scope.

• get_mission278 tok

  Fetch one mission. view='summary' (the default, small enough to poll) returns its summary (activity, stage, review/check/test state, PR, paused and pauseSource, cost), its agent runs (sandboxId, role, status, harness, model, cost) and proofRunSandboxId (pass it to list_artifacts as sandboxId for the proof). view='full' adds its stages, events, stats and the plan/review/QA outcomes. pauseSource 'checkpoint:<role>' means a checkpoint holds it: resume_mission approves that stage. Requires the missions:read scope.

• send_mission_instruction276 tok

  Tell a mission what to change. Use kind='follow_up' (the default) to ask for a change: the instruction reaches the agents AND dispatches the builder against the mission's open pull request, overriding cached review and QA verdicts. Use kind='note' to record context for whatever runs next without starting any work. A restart is a different thing: it re-evaluates an unchanged pull request against its cached verdicts, and so changes nothing. Returns a receipt saying what was recorded and what it will cause. This tool calls the SHIP API, documented at https://letsship.ai/docs/api. Requires the mis

• mark_setup_step275 tok

  Mark a step of the setup checklist completed or skipped for the person this token acts for, as the console's Mark as complete and Skip controls do; open removes the mark. Give step for one milestone, or group to mark every open step of that group (the console's Skip all). A marked step counts as done on that person's checklist and its status says how; reached stays false until SHIP sees the step done. Returns the checklist as it now stands. A token that acts for no person is refused.

• list_artifacts264 tok

  List proof-of-work artifacts (QA screenshots/video/traces) for the caller's accessible projects. Each row carries kind, content type, caption, the acceptance criterion it proves, the sandboxId of the agent run that produced it, and a long-lived signed serving url. Filter by issueId to get one ticket's evidence: the artifacts of every run, superseded QA attempts included, up to limit; a note says when more exist. For the mission's proof of work specifically, read proofRunSandboxId from GET /v1/missions/{id} and pass it as sandboxId.

• start_mcp_server_oauth260 tok

  Begin the OAuth consent for a server bound as remote. Returns an authorizeUrl that a HUMAN must open in a browser signed in to the SHIP console as the same user this token acts for; the provider returns to the console, which stores the credential. The link is single-use and expires (expiresAt). An agent cannot complete the consent itself. Requires config:write.

• set_mission_disposition253 tok

  Record a person's reason for how a mission ended, which the delivery statistics use: product (real work, judged on its merits), probe (a test on purpose), superseded (another mission replaced it: give supersededBy) or takeover (a person finished the work outside SHIP); null clears it. Set it only with the person's answer, never from your own guess. Requires the missions:write scope and the config:write capability.

• get_agent_run_logs228 tok

  Fetch a session's log content from one agent run. part=session is the agent stream-json (reasoning + tool calls); part=system is the container/runner stdout (clone, dependency install, validation gate, git, callback); part=prompt is the assembled input prompt. The role and sessionId are fields of the agent run's own record. A log longer than 40,000 characters returns its end, from a whole line, with a note.

• inspect_mission210 tok

  Fetch the typed platform-inspection report for a mission, by its issue id. Returns per-section KV/D1/R2 state: task state, retry reason, dispatch error, latest review + QA verdicts, run index, per-attempt provenance, running sandboxes, and session-log heads. Requires the inspect:read scope.

• list_scheduled_task_runs197 tok

  Run history for one scheduled task, each row's status (dispatching/dispatched/skipped/failed) and, once its issue exists, the joined mission progress/cost. A 'dispatched' status means the issue was created and the mission started — never that the work succeeded; read the joined mission state for that. Newest first; when older runs exist, pass nextCursor back as cursor for the next page.

• set_mcp_config_path194 tok

  Point the project at the repository file that declares its MCP servers, e.g. .cursor/mcp.json or .vscode/mcp.json. null restores the default (.mcp.json). The file is read, never edited. When the repository's ship.yml sets mcp.config, that wins and this call is refused (409); list_mcp_servers reports which one applies as configPathSource. Requires the config:write capability.

• update_team_subscription187 tok

  Change the workspace's monthly plan subscription: plan switches between starter and scale from the next renewal on (nothing is charged or refunded for the current month; passing the current plan drops a waiting switch), or cancelAtPeriodEnd true ends it when the month already paid for ends, false resumes it before then. Pass at least one. Owners and admins only. The answer is the subscription as it now stands, with any waiting switch under nextPlan.

• save_sandbox_registry184 tok

  Store (or replace) the credential for a registry host. The platform attaches it to sandbox requests for that host only; it never enters a sandbox and is never returned.

• list_credit_offers181 tok

  List what SHIP sells: the credit packs (credits, the tax-inclusive price in US dollars and the price per credit), the monthly plans under `team.plans` (Starter and Scale: each its credits a month, monthly price, price per credit, which credits added on top also cost, and agents at once), the range of credits a workspace on a plan can add at once, Enterprise under `enterprise` (the minimum yearly credit commitment, the highest and lowest price per credit, and the agents at once at the minimum; contracts are sold by SHIP, not through checkout), what Free and the packs allow (`limits`), plus the

• refresh_mcp_server_tools176 tok

  Snapshot the bound server's current tools (with their readOnlyHint / destructiveHint annotations) for approval. Approvals of tools that no longer exist are dropped. The binding must be ready; a server inside the sandbox has no gateway tool list. Requires config:write.

• get_project175 tok

  Fetch a single project by its UUID. Returns 404 if the project is not in the caller's org.

• approve_mission_ceiling172 tok

  A mission that reached its credit limit pauses until a member lets it continue. This raises the mission's limit by one step and runs the stage that stopped again, so it spends credits: ask the person first. Returns the new limit. Answers 409 when the mission is not at its limit. Requires the missions:run scope.

• set_mission_auto_merge171 tok

  Set whether SHIP merges this mission's pull request by itself once the checks, the review and the test pass. The setting is for this mission only and replaces the project's auto-merge for it; get_project shows the project's. While it is on, SHIP merges without asking again. Requires the missions:write scope.

• list_environments171 tok

  List per-mission preview environments for the caller's accessible projects. Returns id, issueId, projectId, prNumber, workerName, and lifecycle status.

• unbind_mcp_server161 tok

  Delete a binding and its stored credential: no role receives the server from its next run. The repository's MCP file is not changed, so the server can be bound again. Requires config:write.

• list_orgs157 tok

  List every organization on the platform with its owner email, member count, and pending invite status. Requires platform-admin (cross_org) access. Cursor-paginated (default page size 50) — feed the response's nextCursor back as the cursor input to reach the next page; a null nextCursor means there are no more pages.

• get_setup_progress154 tok

  Read what the workspace has set up with SHIP so far, as the console's setup checklist shows it: up to 13 milestones in three groups, taken in order (get started, make it yours, make it autonomous). `activeGroup` names the group to work on now, and each group carries its own count. Each milestone says whether it is reached and, when a console page takes it and the caller's role can, the page that does it. `next` names the first milestone not reached yet. Use it to suggest the next step to a person.

• merge_mission154 tok

  Merge the mission's open pull request on GitHub with the repository's own merge method; the mission then becomes done, and the merge cannot be undone from here. Answers 409 with the reason when the pull request cannot merge. On a merge conflict SHIP starts the builder to fix it and merges once the mission is ready again, with no further call. Requires the missions:write scope.

• list_billing_ledger150 tok

  List where the workspace's credits went, newest first: one entry per mission (its start, each further 3 agent-hours, and messages charged before messages became free), per grant, per adjustment and per expiry. Pass nextCursor back as cursor for the next page. Owners and admins only.

• list_mcp_servers149 tok

  The MCP servers a project's repository declares in its MCP file (.mcp.json by default), each with its binding: enabled roles, transport, status, approved tools, per-role effective tool counts (null when the server runs inside the sandbox and the role gets every tool it exposes), and the NAMES of the credential fields set (never values). Also reports whether the file could be read (configStatus).

• get_sandbox_build_log142 tok

  A page of a build's log after sequence number `after`. Call again with after = nextAfter until done is true.

• dismiss_notice139 tok

  Close a notice for the person this token acts for, as the console's close button does. Only a notice with dismissible: true can be closed (a low balance). It stays closed while its id lasts: a low balance that a top-up ends and a later spend brings back has a new id and shows again. Critical notices cannot be closed.

• stop_agent_run136 tok

  Stop the agent in one run before it finishes. Its work in progress is lost, and the run's status becomes stopped a few seconds later. Needs an org admin and the sandboxes:stop scope. This stops one agent run, not the mission: to stop the whole mission, use POST /v1/missions/{issueId}/stop.

• run_scheduled_task135 tok

  Fire a scheduled task immediately, bypassing both its schedule and the skip-if-previous-open guard — an explicit run always creates a new issue even while a prior fire's mission is still open. Requires the pipeline:control capability and, for a token caller, the missions:run scope — the same authorization starting a mission by hand requires, because it is the same act.

• get_agent_run133 tok

  Fetch one agent run: its run record, metric series (CPU/mem/disk over time), and the agent session summaries (role, outcome, cost, sessionId). sessions lists every session of the run's role on the mission; runSessionId names this run's own, so read its log and cost from that one.

• resume_mission132 tok

  Continue a paused mission. When a checkpoint holds it (get_mission shows pauseSource 'checkpoint:<role>'), this approves that stage's result and starts the next stage. To ask for changes to the result instead, use send_mission_instruction. Requires the missions:write scope.

• get_scheduled_task132 tok

  Fetch one scheduled task by id: its project, name, prompt, triggers (schedule), labels, template key, skip-if-previous-open setting, enabled state, and next/last run times. An id outside the caller's accessible projects returns not found. For what each fire produced, use list_scheduled_task_runs.

• stop_mission128 tok

  Hard-stop a mission: every agent run of it stops and its work in progress is lost. The pull request stays open, and start_mission starts the mission again. To stop one agent run only, use stop_agent_run. Requires the missions:write scope.

• request_more_credits121 tok

  Ask for more credits for the workspace, saying what they are for. Any member may ask. The answer says who has the request: SHIP for a sponsored or Enterprise workspace, its owners and admins otherwise. A message sent while a request is open joins it.

• delete_sandbox_template121 tok

  Delete a sandbox with all its versions and builds. Answers 409 while an agent or a project's default sandbox uses it: point those at another sandbox first (update_project with defaultSandboxTemplateId). Missions that run in it now finish. Requires the agents:write scope and the config:write capability.

• get_notices119 tok

  Read what needs attention in the workspace, critical first: a tracker connection its vendor no longer accepts (missions cannot start or report back until someone reconnects it), or credits running out. Each notice has a stable id and kind, a message and, when the caller can act, an action URL to hand to a person. A notice the caller dismissed is left out. Check it before dispatching work.

• get_agents_override118 tok

  Read the per-issue agents/baseBranch override record for one mission, or null when unset.

• archive_mission118 tok

  Hide a finished mission from list_missions and the board. Nothing else changes: unarchive_mission shows it again. Requires the missions:write scope and the config:write capability (an owner or admin).

• clear_agents_override117 tok

  Delete the per-issue agents/baseBranch override — the mission resolves from ship.yml again.

• pause_mission116 tok

  Hold a mission before its next stage. The stage that runs now finishes; no agent is stopped. Use resume_mission to continue. Requires the missions:write scope and a role that can control missions.

• delete_scheduled_task112 tok

  Delete a scheduled task and its run history, which no call can bring back. Missions it already started continue. Setting enabled to false stops new runs and keeps the task and its history. Requires the scheduled-tasks:write scope and the config:write capability.

• decline_mission110 tok

  Close the mission's open pull request on GitHub without merging it; the mission becomes declined, and no call here reopens it. Requires the missions:write scope.

• get_sandbox_capacity110 tok

  How many agents the org's missions are running at once against its limit (null while the org is unclassified), which missions wait for an agent slot and why, and whether every slot on the platform is taken. Read from the platform's once-a-minute capacity check.

• activate_sandbox_template_version109 tok

  Make a version the one missions use from their next dispatch. It is rebuilt only if its snapshot is gone; the response says which.

• delete_sandbox_registry109 tok

  Delete the stored credential of a private registry (an id from list_sandbox_registries). A sandbox build that installs from that host then gets no credential. Requires the connectors:write scope and the config:write capability.

• list_mcp_bindings104 tok

  Every MCP server binding across the projects you can see in your org: project, server, transport, status, enabled roles, how it authenticates, and the NAMES of the credential fields set (never values). Use it to find where a credential is used; use list_mcp_servers for one project's full detail.

• unarchive_mission103 tok

  Show an archived mission in list_missions and on the board again. Requires the missions:write scope and the config:write capability.

• list_projects99 tok

  List the projects accessible to the calling principal. Returns id, slug, name, status, createdAt for each.

• list_scheduled_tasks98 tok

  List recurring agent missions (scheduled tasks) across the caller's accessible projects — schedule, enabled state, and next/last fire time for each. Pass projectId for the tasks of one project.

• list_scheduled_task_templates94 tok

  Read-only gallery of curated scheduled task templates — a prepared prompt plus a suggested cadence. A template is content, not a code path: pass its key as templateKey on create_scheduled_task for attribution, or copy its prompt/schedule into a hand-written scheduled task.

• destroy_environment86 tok

  Request teardown of a preview environment (its deployed Worker(s) + every provisioned datastore). Enqueues to the orchestrator; requires project write capability.

• list_sandbox_template_versions83 tok

  Every saved version of a sandbox, newest first, with the active one marked and each one's latest build.

• whoami81 tok

  Returns the caller's identity, org, role, role-derived RBAC capabilities, and token scopes. Use this to check whether the current token may perform an action (e.g. config:write) before attempting it.

• get_artifact80 tok

  Fetch one artifact's metadata + a long-lived signed serving url (open it to view the screenshot/video).

• get_billing78 tok

  Read the workspace's credit balance by source and expiry, whether a new mission would start now, the per-mission credit ceiling, the project allowance and recent usage. Check it before dispatching work.

• build_sandbox_template77 tok

  Build the sandbox's active version, or return the build already running for it.

• get_environment75 tok

  Fetch one preview environment's registry row (status, worker name, timestamps).

• list_sandbox_registries64 tok

  The org's private package registries sandboxes install from: host, auth scheme, username. Never the secret.

• list_sandbox_templates63 tok

  List the org's sandboxes (definitions agents start in), with each one's active version, size and latest build status.

• list_sandbox_starters61 tok

  Ready-made sandbox definitions (Python, Java, Go, Rust, Ruby) to create a sandbox from.

• healthz48 tok

  Returns the upstream API status, environment, and version.
