`add_security_group_rule`Adds one rule to a security group and returns it as the platform made it (with its id). Machines with the group get it at once. Adding a rule that already exists changes nothing and returns the existing one. Zero trust: open only the ports a service needs, from the narrowest source that works: another security group (remote_group_id) for your own machines, an address range for people or partners, 0.0.0.0/0 only for a public website's 80/443. When a machine gets a public URL, the platform opens that port to any address in every security group the machine has at that moment, and closes it when the URL is removed. A group attached later does not have it.	Adds one rule to a security group and returns it as the platform made it (with its id). Machines with the group get it at once.

`architecture_diagram`Read-only. Fetches EVERY resource on your redu.cloud account (VMs, volumes, private networks, managed databases: Postgres/MySQL/MariaDB/ClickHouse/Redis/Qdrant, load balancers, and DNS access points) and renders ONE Mermaid diagram of the whole account, grouped into per-private-network subgraphs with repetition collapsed into count nodes (e.g. "App VM x12"). Returns report_markdown to save as redu_architecture_diagram.md at the repo root, PLUS a redu_md_section that enriches the repo's redu.md with the current account topology, so the NEXT deploy is account-aware: it integrates with services that already exist and picks models/versions/sizes that fit the stack (better decisions, not just avoiding duplicate networks/databases). Nothing is created or changed.	Read-only.

`attach_volume`Attaches an EXISTING block volume to a running instance as an extra disk. This is how you finish a RESTORE after a VM is gone: restore_backup (volumeName) rebuilds the data into a new volume, then attach_volume puts that volume on a replacement instance - then SSH in (get_ssh_command) and mount it (`lsblk` to find it, usually /dev/vdb, then `mount /dev/vdb /mnt/...`). The volume must be 'available' (not already in-use - detach_volume it first) and in the same project. Attaching does NOT mount or boot from it: the instance keeps booting from its own root disk, the volume shows up as an extra block device. Poll list_volumes until status is 'in-use'.

`check_deploy_prerequisites`The deploy ENTRY GATE - run this first when a user wants to deploy. Verifies the account is ready and AUTO-SELECTS the network_id + keypair_name to pass to deploy_app (so you never hunt for them): (1) account reachable + quota, (2) a private network (picks your default - every account has one), (3) an SSH keypair (if you have none, returns ssh_key_recipe: the exact local ssh-keygen → import_keypair → write SSH_KEY_LOCATION-to-.env steps - run them, in yolo mode without asking). Returns { ready, network_id, keypair_name, missing, ssh_key_recipe }.	The deploy ENTRY GATE - run this first when a user wants to deploy.

`checkpoint_run`Saves the whole run in a checkpoint: each machine with all its disks (the volumes attached to it included), and how to boot it again (its size, keypair and name). A volume attached to no machine is not saved, and the checkpoint says so. Of a running run it is like a power cut (what was not yet written to disk is not in it); pause_run first for a clean copy. One at a time per run. It runs in the background: call get_run until this checkpoint's status is ready (about a minute per machine). restore_run brings the run back to it. Its storage is billed like any snapshot until the run ends. The run's own key may call it.

`create_api_key`Mints a NEW least-privilege redu API key for a deployed app or automation to use (e.g. to add a backup feature). GUARDRAIL: the first call does NOT create anything. It returns a confirmation the user must approve, because a key is a long-lived credential that acts on the account and ANY usage of it is BILLED to the account owner. Show the user the name, the exact scopes, and the billing notice, get their explicit approval, then call again with confirm:true. This is required even in yolo/auto mode. The secret is returned ONCE.

`create_clickhouse`Provisions a managed ClickHouse database (OLAP / columnar analytics engine, Apache-2.0) on a dedicated VM on your private network - its OWN resource, NOT a relational database. Requires a recent plan_managed_datastore. Use it for analytics / observability workloads that need a column store (PostHog, Langfuse, event analytics, time-series). It is PRIVATE - reachable only from another instance on the same private network, via the DB's internal/private IP on the ClickHouse HTTP port 8123 (CLICKHOUSE_HOST/PORT/USER/PASSWORD/DB env, http://host:8123). Get the ids from plan_managed_datastore/list_flavors (use m1.small+ - ClickHouse needs >=2GB RAM), list_private_networks, list_keypairs. Provisioning takes ~5 min; poll list_clickhouse_databases until status='ready'. HIGH AVAILABILITY: pass ha:true to get THREE machines on three different physical hosts behind a load balancer instead of one: all three take reads and writes, so losing a machine costs no failover and no write pause, and the replacement refills itself from the survivors before it serves again. It costs about 3x the hourly rate (three machines instead of one) and provisions more slowly. Default is a single machine; show the user the price difference and get an explicit yes before turning HA on.

`create_free_postgres`Create the included private PostgreSQL VM, with PostgreSQL installed automatically. Its fixed size is 1 CPU, 1 GiB RAM and 2 GiB total disk including Ubuntu. Create the included website VM first: all database access, including administration, goes through that website. No direct public SQL, SSH or HTTPS endpoint is provided for this database. No paid or pilot fallback. Create application tables in database redu as role redu, never as postgres. For local administration use sudo -u postgres psql -X -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -d redu and SET ROLE redu before application DDL or imports. This preserves console read/edit access and its default reader grants. A separate website runtime role may remain read-only. The default pg_hba.conf permits remote login only as redu from the website private address. For a separate runtime role, also add an exact host rule for database redu, that role and the website private IPv4 /32 with scram-sha-256 before the reject rules; validate pg_hba_file_rules and reload PostgreSQL. Keep all other sources rejected; never use trust or a public CIDR. Read the website address from the guest configuration rather than guessing it. SQL grants alone do not permit a new network login. Test the application connection from the website using its actual runtime role, without printing credentials, before publishing. If a shell command returns a nonzero exit code or the app returns HTTP 503, inspect its saved output and sanitized application error; do not repeat the installation blindly. Verify the table through postgres_data_read using the data-view ID returned by get_free_resources; discovery alone does not prove row access. Do not grant superuser or bypass row security to fix a permission error.	Create the included private PostgreSQL VM, with PostgreSQL installed automatically.

For app/source deployments, prefer check_deploy_prerequisites -> plan_deploy -> deploy_app/deploy_compose; do not use create_instance as a shortcut around the deployment plan. Requires a recent plan_instance. For reduOS, set cloud_init_template='reduos' and flavor m1.xlarge (16GB). SSH keypair must exist. For a public web app on a raw VM, pass dns_entries (gives a .redu.cloud URL through redu's automatic public proxy). The origin app should listen on dns_entries[].port; do not install nginx on the VM unless the app itself needs it, because redu.cloud already creates the public Nginx proxy host.

`create_private_network`Creates an isolated private network in your account and returns its id, name and address range. It has its own router with an internet connection and no route to your other private networks, so a job's machines on it are kept apart from the rest of your account. Pass the id as network_id to create_instance or to the managed database tools. It is billed hourly while it exists and counts toward your account's network limit.

`create_private_vps`Approved pilot accounts only. Create one website VM (1 CPU, 2 GiB RAM, 10 GiB total disk) or one database VM (1 CPU, 1 GiB RAM, 2 GiB total disk). Both start with plain Ubuntu. Maximum one of each, including pending and stopped VMs. The pair shares a 5 GB outgoing Internet budget; incoming and private traffic do not count. Pilot VMs and their specified boot disks have no charge. Existing paid resources keep normal billing. Reuse request_key when retrying this exact request. Creation does not install an application or publish a website. Either size can be used alone. For a smaller-only request, create kind database without a website VM. If the user wants SSH, obtain access with get_private_vps_ssh once active and include its returned command at the end, even if a later application install fails. Never delete or replace a failed tutorial VM unless requested.	Approved pilot accounts only.

`create_qdrant`Provisions a managed Qdrant vector database on a dedicated VM. Requires a recent plan_managed_datastore (engine 'qdrant'). Reachable from your private network at <private_ip>:6333 (REST) and :6334 (gRPC), and at a public https URL; every request must carry the api-key header (always required). Backups: set_managed_backups with service 'qdrant'.

`create_run`Starts a run: everything one job creates, grouped in your account. The run comes with its own isolated private network (internet access, no route to your other networks; its id is network_id in the result). The run's machines are empty VMs: send_signals with empty_vm: true, through the redu MCP with the run's key (create_run_key); the platform sizes each one from the signal and starts it in that network. Pass the run's id as run_id to create_volume and create_private_network; each resource joins the run. When the job is done, end_run deletes everything in the run, its network included, and checks each one gone. The network and the machines are billed as usual. network: false makes a run without a network of its own (it then cannot get machines). lease_minutes: the run ends by itself, everything in it deleted, when nothing renews it (renew_run) for that long; give one whenever a program drives the run, so a runner that dies never leaves billed machines behind.

`create_run_key`Mints a key for one run's runner: it reaches ONLY that run's machines, volumes and networks, everything it creates joins the run, it works only through this MCP (connect with the header Authorization: Bearer <key>), and it is deleted when the run ends. Use it instead of an account key for an agent that works inside a run. Usage is billed to the account. The key is shown once. Needs a logged-in session or a full-access key; a run key cannot mint one.

`deploy_app`Deploys an app to a VM and exposes it at a public https://<name>-<id>.redu.cloud URL. The container is built ON the VM. PREREQS - run check_deploy_prerequisites first for network_id + keypair_name, then plan_deploy for cost approval. Source can be git repo or prepare_upload source_token. PORT must be the real app listen port. DATASTORES ARE MANAGED BY DEFAULT: each one you reported in send_signals runs as a managed store started at your signal and is wired with no settings (DATABASE_URL and PG/MYSQL_, REDIS_URL, QDRANT_URL with QDRANT_API_KEY); without a signal, pass database:'managed' (db_engine 'postgres', or 'mysql'/'mariadb' for WordPress/Matomo/LAMP), redis:'managed' or qdrant:'managed'. For WordPress/WooCommerce cluster intent, do not use generic stateless deploy: pass app_profile, cluster_target:true, database:'managed', db_engine:'mariadb' or 'mysql', cluster_media_mode:'media_space', and either media_space_id or create_media_space:true. Redu mounts the media space into wp-content/uploads and refuses unsafe local uploads. Build+provision takes minutes; poll list_deployments/get_deployment.

`deploy_compose`Deploys a MULTI-CONTAINER app - a repo that ships docker-compose.yml / compose.yaml - onto ONE VM via podman-compose, and exposes one or more services at redu.cloud URLs. Use this instead of deploy_app when the repo is a compose stack. Same prereqs + source modes as deploy_app; always run plan_deploy first. PORT is the HOST port for the exposed service. DATASTORES ARE MANAGED BY DEFAULT: each one you reported in send_signals runs as a managed store; the stack keeps its own settings, and its own copy of each store is replaced by a forwarder of the same name to the managed one (the stack's own user, password and database created there, its init scripts run once).

`deploy_vpn`Stands up a redu VPN gateway (WireGuard tunnelled over wstunnel on WSS/443) on your PRIVATE network, so you (or your team) can reach the private IPs of the VMs you deployed on redu, over a single https endpoint - no UDP, no extra ports. This is the TENANT VPN for reaching your OWN deployed resources; it is NOT a general internet VPN. GUARDRAIL: the first call does NOT deploy - it returns the plan + hourly cost for approval, because it creates a BILLED VM. Show the user, get their explicit 'go', then call again with confirm:true (required even in yolo mode). The gateway asset is redu's, deployed onto YOUR VM (you can SSH in to read it). Fresh WireGuard keys are generated per deploy; the client PRIVATE key is returned ONCE and is never stored server-side.

`exec_free_resource`Run an authorized shell script on an included free VM. Database commands are relayed through the included website VM. PostgreSQL is installed automatically; inspect before modifying it. Use get_free_resource_telemetry before builds and to diagnose resource pressure or failed services. Never print passwords or private keys. Inspect get_free_resource_action after scheduling, and preserve unknown outcomes without resubmitting. Use a service manager for long-running apps. Create application tables in database redu as role redu, never as postgres. For local administration use sudo -u postgres psql -X -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -d redu and SET ROLE redu before application DDL or imports. This preserves console read/edit access and its default reader grants. A separate website runtime role may remain read-only. The default pg_hba.conf permits remote login only as redu from the website private address. For a separate runtime role, also add an exact host rule for database redu, that role and the website private IPv4 /32 with scram-sha-256 before the reject rules; validate pg_hba_file_rules and reload PostgreSQL. Keep all other sources rejected; never use trust or a public CIDR. Read the website address from the guest configuration rather than guessing it. SQL grants alone do not permit a new network login. Test the application connection from the website using its actual runtime role, without printing credentials, before publishing. If a shell command returns a nonzero exit code or the app returns HTTP 503, inspect its saved output and sanitized application error; do not repeat the installation blindly. Verify the table through postgres_data_read using the data-view ID returned by get_free_resources; discovery alone does not prove row access.

No website VM is required and inbound application ports remain private. A failed application install leaves the VM in place for debugging. Never print passwords or private keys. Output is limited to 64 KiB. Long-running apps must use a service manager. This action has no automatic retries; reuse request_key and inspect get_private_vps_action after a timeout.

`get_container_logs`THE APPLICATION'S OWN LOGS - what `docker logs`/`podman logs` would show for each container in a deployment. This is the tool for 'it deployed fine but it does not work': a 500, a crash loop, a failed DB connection, a missing env var all announce themselves here and NOWHERE else. ⛔ DO NOT use get_instance_logs for this. That returns the VM's SERIAL CONSOLE (kernel messages and cloud-init), which answers a question nobody debugging an app has - and on this platform it goes permanently silent once the machine finishes booting. build_log does not contain runtime output either; it stops when the build does. Default depth answers instantly from the VM's last report; a bigger `tail` or any `since` asks the VM for a fresh pull and takes up to ~15s. Secret-shaped values (PASSWORD=, TOKEN=, API_KEY=) are redacted in transit.	THE APPLICATION'S OWN LOGS - what `docker logs`/`podman logs` would show for each container in a deployment.

`get_containers`WHAT IS ACTUALLY RUNNING on a deployment's VM: every container's name, image, state, health, restart count, exit code and published ports - including the ones that have CRASHED, which are the ones you need. Use this the moment a deployment says 'ready' but the URL misbehaves, and before you reach for SSH. get_deployment returns the deployment ROW (status, URL, build log); it cannot see inside the VM, so a stack where one of five services is restarting looks identical to a healthy one there. This is that missing view. It answers from the VM's own report (every 15s), so it costs no SSH round trip. If the VM has never reported, it SAYS SO rather than returning an empty list - 'no containers' and 'I cannot see' are different answers and only one of them means your app is broken. ⚠️ For a deployment that has been turned into a CLUSTER, this describes the original source VM only; autoscaled members are deliberately silent, so use list_clusters for member-level state.

`get_domain_verification`Starts (or resumes) a claim on a custom domain and returns the DNS TXT record that proves it is the user's: they add it at the domain's DNS provider, then you call verify_domain. Until it verifies, list_domains shows the domain as pending. A pending claim's TXT value can change (values are specific to each account), so add exactly the value get_domain_verification returns now, never one saved earlier or seen on another account; if verify_domain keeps failing, call get_domain_verification again and update the record when the value differs.

`get_env_keys`WHICH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES the deployment was actually given, BY NAME - the keys in the env files on the VM (/opt/app-src/.env and friends), never the values. Most of the time the real question is 'did DATABASE_URL get wired, or is the app reading a name I did not set', and the name answers it: you can confirm the DB was connected, spot a typo'd key, and see which of the app's documented variables are missing, without touching a secret. ⛔ VALUES ARE NOT AVAILABLE HERE AND WILL NOT BE. They never leave the VM. If you genuinely need one (a generated admin password, say), SSH in with get_ssh_command and read that single key: `sudo grep '^KEY=' /opt/app-src/.env`. The file is chmod 600 root:root, so it needs sudo. Also reports each file's permission mode, which is how you catch a world-readable env file.

Use it to answer 'is this flavor big enough', to size the NEXT deploy of the same app honestly instead of guessing, and to explain a container that keeps dying (an OOM kill leaves no application log at all - the process is shot, so the only trace is the kernel's, and that is why oom_kills_24h is here). A full disk presents as a dozen unrelated failures and is the first thing to rule out. Every one of 34 measured deploy runs got these numbers by SSHing in and running free/df/docker stats; this is the same data with no round trip.

ACCEPTS an instance id, a deployment's id / name / instance_id, OR a MANAGED DATASTORE's id / name / instance_id (Postgres, MySQL/MariaDB, ClickHouse, Redis) - it resolves all of them, so you do not have to work out which one you are holding (a deployment's instance_id is a placeholder until provisioning finishes, and passing it used to fail). ⭐ SSH TO THE DATASTORE VM IS HOW YOU REACH A PRIVATE-NETWORK-ONLY DATABASE BEFORE ANY APP VM EXISTS: the datastore's own VM is SSH-reachable and ships the client on PATH (psql at /usr/bin/psql), so you can apply a schema or rotate a seeded admin account without an app VM to tunnel through.

`postgres_data_change`Changes the data INSIDE a managed Postgres database, as the console does: rows, tables and columns, a SQL write, a CSV import, saved queries, the editing lock. Each write is sent once. Deleting, dropping, renaming, a SQL write and unlocking need confirm: true, set only after the user said yes. Call postgres_data_read action help first for the arguments.

`prepare_upload`Returns the LOCAL shell commands to package your working directory and upload it for an upload-mode deploy (no git, no PAT). Run them in the user's terminal, capture `source_token` from the upload's JSON response, then call deploy_app with that source_token (omit repo). The upload authenticates AUTOMATICALLY with a short-lived ticket minted from your MCP credential - NO API key needed in the command and nothing secret is printed (it falls back to needing $REDU_API_KEY only if minting is unavailable). Excludes node_modules/.git/.venv/build output and .env by default; honors .gitignore when is_git_repo=true.

`publish_free_website`Publish the included website's working HTTP application at its generated HTTPS hostname or one exact custom hostname the owner has verified with verify_domain. Point the custom hostname at the generated free-<operation ID without hyphens>.redu.cloud name using CNAME (or the same public edge address for an apex). Only one hostname is served: a custom hostname replaces the generated hostname, not an additional alias. Omit domain to keep the current hostname; pass null to restore the generated one. Verify application readiness and authentication first. All public website HTTP/HTTPS response bodies share 5 GB per UTC month, including multiple routes. Incoming uploads, VM downloads, SSH and private SQL are excluded. No direct public IP is assigned. Database publication and WebSocket upgrades are unavailable.

`publish_private_vps`Publish a user-requested HTTP application from either pilot, including the smaller pilot on its own, at a generated public HTTPS URL. First install and start the application, enable its production authentication and verify its local HTTP port. This publishes the app only; it does not assign a public VM IP or expose database/SSH ports. Responses consume the existing shared 5 GB outgoing account budget. No paid VM is created. Inspect get_private_vps_action until complete and give the returned URL to the user together with their separately obtained SSH command. If installation fails, preserve the VM and give SSH access; do not claim a working URL. Reuse request_key after a timeout.

`release_domain`Removes a custom domain from this account: a verified domain is no longer verified for it (using it again needs a new TXT check), and a pending claim is cancelled. The first call releases nothing: it shows the domain for the user to approve; call again with confirm:true only after their yes. The second call reports the platform's answer: released, or refused. A refusal because public names still use the domain (DOMAIN_IN_USE) lists those names, each with its id: remove each with delete_dns_entry (it asks for the user's yes first), then call this again.

`restore_backup`Restores a backup into an existing volume (volumeId), an instance's volume (instanceId), or a new one (volumeName). Poll list_volumes for the restored volume. DISASTER RECOVERY (the original VM is gone, so its volume died with it): restore with volumeName to rebuild the data as a NEW volume. To bring the MACHINE back, pass that volume as create_instance's boot_volume_id - it boots from the restored disk, so the VM returns with its filesystem intact and nothing to mount. Use attach_volume instead only when you want the data as an EXTRA disk on an existing machine (then get_ssh_command -> lsblk -> mount). A restored volume is inert until it is booted from or attached.

Confirm with the user first unless they asked for it. If any machine of the checkpoint does not come back, nothing changes. Restored machines have new addresses: read list_instances, then get_ssh_command.

`set_cluster_domain`Changes the PUBLIC HOSTNAME a cluster serves on, so the user can put THEIR OWN production domain (shop.acme.com, app.theircompany.com) in front of it instead of the auto-generated redu.cloud URL. That is what this tool is for: a real product on a real brand. The cluster itself is untouched - same members, same load balancer, same data - only the name in front of it changes. Pass stack_name + stack_id from list_clusters. TWO RULES, and getting either wrong wastes a call: (1) A CUSTOM DOMAIN MUST BE VERIFIED FIRST. Call get_domain_verification for the TXT record, have the user add it at their DNS provider, then call verify_domain until it reports verified (list_domains shows what is already verified). Binding an unverified domain is refused, on purpose: without proof of ownership anyone could bind, and obtain a certificate for, a hostname that is not theirs. Also make sure the domain's own DNS actually points at this cluster, or it will verify and still not serve. (2) A redu.cloud NAME CANNOT BE FREELY CHOSEN. The redu.cloud base domain is shared by every customer, so names under it always keep a short-id suffix - the real form is `<label>-<8chars>.redu.cloud`. Ask for a bare `myapp.redu.cloud` and you will NOT get it: the server normalises it and binds something else. If the first caller could pick any name under the shared domain, the good ones would all be gone. SO: the response carries `access_point`, the hostname the server ACTUALLY bound, which may differ from what you asked for. Report that value to the user and use it everywhere afterwards - never repeat your requested label back as if it were the URL. Finally, changing the hostname changes the URL: anything wired to the old one (OAuth callbacks, cookie domains, webhooks, an app told its own address) breaks until it is updated, so say so before you call this.

`set_instance_security_groups`Sets the COMPLETE list of security groups on one of your machines: groups you list are added, groups you leave out are removed, and the result is read back from the machine. Ask the user first when it removes a group. Give groups by name or id (list_security_groups). Keep at least one. When a machine gets a public URL, the platform opens that port to any address in every security group the machine has at that moment, and closes it when the URL is removed. A group attached later does not have it. So keep a group that has the machine's public port, or add that rule to the new group first.

`update_cluster`Updates a running autoscaling cluster to a new app version IN PLACE, with NO URL change: snapshots the 'hero' VM (the source/master VM you SSH into and change - it is also the always-on baseline member that serves traffic), then redu rolling-updates the autoscaled extra members to that snapshot ONE AT A TIME and refreshes the image the group boots future members from - the SAME load balancer and SAME *.redu.cloud URL are kept, and the service stays up during the roll. This is the ONLY way to update a cluster: you do NOT edit live members (they are disposable clones); you change the hero VM (SSH into it, deploy the new version), then update_cluster snapshots it and spreads it to the fleet (the hero already runs your change; this propagates it to the autoscaled members). It is low-disruption, not zero-downtime: measured, a rolling update failed about 2% of requests, in one short burst at each member swap, and never dropped below a majority of members. Never promise the user zero downtime. That holds ONLY if the app starts on every boot - a member whose app is launched by a first-boot-only script returns empty after replacement, never rejoins the pool, and the roll silently drains the cluster.

`upgrade_to_cluster`THE WAY TO MAKE AN EXISTING APP HIGHLY AVAILABLE. If the user asks for high availability, redundancy, no single point of failure, surviving a host or VM failure, or 'stay up if a machine dies', this is the tool: point it at their running VM and pass high_availability:true. It needs no rebuild and no redeploy, and the URL does not change. Turns a single running instance into a horizontally-autoscaling cluster: snapshots the instance and puts your SOURCE VM behind a load balancer as its ALWAYS-ON BASELINE MEMBER, then an autoscaling group adds EXTRA members (booted from that snapshot) on CPU load and scales them back down to zero. FLAVOR - LEAD WITH A MEMORY-OPTIMIZED SMALL-DISK FLAVOR (m1.mem16/m1.mem32) for the cluster, and ideally have the SOURCE VM on one too: clustering snapshots the source VM's FULL disk, so DISK size (not RAM) drives how long the cluster takes to build and to add each member under load - a 40 GB mem flavor is several times faster to snapshot and scale than a 160 GB standard flavor (m1.xlarge) and costs less for the same RAM. If the source VM is on a big-disk flavor, RECOMMEND migrating the app onto a mem-flavor VM first (a root disk cannot be shrunk in place), even though it is extra work - it pays off on every scale-out, and a clustered app is stateless anyway (state in the managed DB) so the lean disk fits. Expect a DRASTICALLY better clustering experience on a mem flavor: far faster cluster-create, snapshots, and every scale-out. The user can override with any flavor. At rest ONLY your source VM serves - there is NO idle extra VM to pay for (the source VM is the cluster's minimum, so the floor is 0 extra members). Use it to LOAD-SCALE a stateless app tier while managed services hold state: it becomes highly-available UNDER LOAD (multiple members behind the LB), but at rest a SINGLE source VM serves - and that source VM is a plain VM, not an autoscaled member, so it is NOT auto-replaced if it fails while idle (only the autoscaled extra member	THE WAY TO MAKE AN EXISTING APP HIGHLY AVAILABLE.

`upgrade_to_ha`Turns an EXISTING, running single-machine managed Postgres or ClickHouse into a THREE-machine highly available cluster, in place, keeping the data and the same username, password and database name. Use this when the user has a live database and wants it to survive a machine or host failure: they do NOT have to create a new one and migrate by hand. How it works: a full backup is taken first (a safety copy while the upgrade runs, deleted when it ends: the old machine is never touched and stays the restore point), the cluster is built alongside, the data is copied in and verified by counting both sides, and only then does the database's address move to the load balancer. The original machine is left running and untouched throughout, so a failure changes nothing and the user is never without a database. SAY THREE THINGS TO THE USER AND GET A YES BEFORE CALLING: (1) COST, it becomes three machines behind a load balancer instead of one, so roughly 3x the hourly rate, and the old single machine keeps billing for 3 days, until it is removed automatically; (2) WRITE LOSS, anything written to the old machine during the copy is not carried over (see acknowledge_write_loss); (3) THEY MUST REPOINT THE APP afterwards, the connection address changes and nothing redeploys their app for them. Takes about 20 minutes and returns immediately; poll list_databases / list_clickhouse_databases until the address changes. Requires a payment method: high availability is not available on the no-card trial. ⛔ CLICKHOUSE ONLY, a FOURTH thing to say: after the upgrade every table has to use a REPLICATED engine.

`verify_deployment`Asks redu to re-probe a deployment's public URL and update its status from what it actually observes. USE THIS AFTER YOU HAVE FIXED A FAILED DEPLOY - a deployment that ended 'error' or 'build_failed' but is now serving becomes 'ready' again, and you do NOT need to redeploy it to get a green status. Redeploying working infrastructure to clear a red flag wastes the user's money and throws away the fix. You cannot set the status yourself: this tool triggers a check, and the probe decides. Readiness means the URL answers with a non-5xx (401/403/404 count - they prove the app is answering), the same rule the deploy's own health gate uses. A deployment with no public URL (a headless worker) cannot be verified this way; use get_containers for its container state instead.

`verify_domain`Checks the DNS TXT ownership record of a custom domain and, when it matches, marks the domain verified for this account. Call get_domain_verification first for the record, have the user add it at their DNS provider, then call this until it reports verified (a new record can take minutes, sometimes hours, to show).

A verified domain can be bound: dname on deploy_app/deploy_compose, dns_entries on create_instance, or set_cluster_domain. A pending claim's TXT value can change (values are specific to each account), so add exactly the value get_domain_verification returns now, never one saved earlier or seen on another account; if verify_domain keeps failing, call get_domain_verification again and update the record when the value differs.

`wait_for_deployment`⭐ CALL THIS INSTEAD OF POLLING. Waits up to 50 seconds per call (an MCP client cuts a call at about 60 s) for the deployment to reach a TERMINAL state (ready, build_failed, error or vm_missing) and returns, in ONE response, everything you would otherwise fetch afterwards: the HTTP status of the PUBLIC url (not the VM's private interface, which can answer 401 while the public path still 502s), the container table with health and restarts, the host's memory/disk/load, and the .env KEY NAMES. Do NOT loop on get_deployment: that is 8-9 round trips per deploy that learn nothing, and then three more asking for what this already returned. ⚠️ A TIMEOUT IS NOT A FAILURE: if it returns timed_out:true the build is simply still running, so call it again (a typical deploy takes 2 to 5 calls). Only status decides success. On build_failed or error, call get_deployment(id) for the full build_log, which is the diagnosis.	⭐ CALL THIS INSTEAD OF POLLING.

`whoami`Verifies your redu.cloud credential with a REAL server round-trip and returns your identity + live quota. A green result means the key actually works - not merely that one is configured. Use this first if anything is 401ing.	Verifies your redu.cloud credential with a REAL server round-trip and returns your identity + live quota.
