depot

depot_ci_cancel_run

WRITE — stops work in progress. Cancel a queued or running Depot CI run and all of its unfinished workflows, jobs and attempts. Cancelled jobs can be retried afterwards with depot_ci_retry_failed_jobs. Depot: CIService/CancelRun.

depot_ci_get_failure_diagnosis

Get Depot's failure diagnosis for a CI run, workflow, job or attempt. For runs and workflows, identical failures are grouped by error fingerprint; for a job or attempt it is a focused diagnosis with evidence. Empty when no failure evidence is found. The best first call when a run failed. Depot: CIService/GetFailureDiagnosis.

depot_ci_get_job

Get one Depot CI job: status, conclusion, error message, timestamps, runner config (labels, image, CPUs, memory), matrix values, parent run/workflow context, dependencies and attempt history. Depot: CIService/GetJob.

depot_ci_get_job_logs

Get persisted log lines for a Depot CI job attempt, oldest first (step key/name, timestamp, line number, body). Pass job_id to read the job's latest attempt, or attempt_id for a specific one — exactly one. Pass nextPageToken back as page_token for more lines. Depot: CIService/GetJobAttemptLogs.

depot_ci_get_run_status

Get a Depot CI run's status with its nested workflows, jobs and attempts (ids, keys, statuses, error messages). This is how to find the workflowId / jobId / attemptId for the log, diagnosis and retry tools. Depot: CIService/GetRunStatus.

depot_ci_list_runs

List Depot CI runs, newest first. Filter by status (default: running + queued — pass ["failed"] to find failures), repo, commit SHA prefix, trigger event, or pull request number (requires repo). Depot: CIService/ListRuns.

depot_ci_list_workflows

List Depot CI workflows across runs, newest first, with per-status job counts. Filter by name/path text, repo, status, trigger, SHA prefix or PR number. Depot: CIService/ListWorkflows.

depot_ci_retry_failed_jobs

WRITE — starts compute. Retry only the failed and cancelled jobs in a Depot CI workflow, plus skipped jobs that depend on them. Jobs that succeeded are left alone. Depot: CIService/RetryFailedJobs.

depot_ci_retry_job

WRITE — starts compute. Retry one failed or cancelled Depot CI job, plus any skipped jobs that depend on it. Fails if a dependent job already started; use depot_ci_retry_failed_jobs then. Depot: CIService/RetryJob.

depot_create_project

WRITE. Create a Depot container-build project (an isolated build cache). Idempotent by name: if an active project with the same name exists, that project is returned. Defaults: cache 50 GB / 14 days, hardware HARDWARE_16X32 on AWS builders. Depot: ProjectService/CreateProject.

depot_get_build

Get one container build's status, timestamps, duration, time saved and cached/total step counts. Depot: core BuildService/GetBuild.

depot_get_build_step_logs

Get the log lines (message + timestamp) of one container-build step, identified by its digest from depot_get_build_steps. Depot: build.v1 BuildService/GetBuildStepLogs.

depot_get_build_steps

List the BuildKit steps of a container build: name, digest, start/end time, cache state (CACHED / UNCACHED), any error, and whether it has logs. Find the failing step here, then pass its digest to depot_get_build_step_logs. Depot: build.v1 BuildService/GetBuildSteps.

depot_get_project

Get one Depot project — name, region, hardware size, cache policy, build timeout and autoscaling. Depot: ProjectService/GetProject.

depot_get_usage

Get the organization's Depot usage over a window: container builds per project (build count, minutes saved, minutes billed), GitHub Actions jobs per repo/workflow/runner (minutes elapsed and billed), storage, and agent sandboxes. Depot: UsageService/GetUsage.

depot_gha_get_analytics

Get time-bucketed GitHub Actions analytics for Depot runners: job counts (successful/failed/cancelled), failure rate, elapsed and billable seconds, average duration — as totals plus hourly or daily buckets. Defaults to the last 30 days (max 90). Depot: GithubActionsService/GetGithubActionsAnalytics.

depot_gha_list_jobs

List GitHub Actions jobs that ran on Depot-managed runners, newest first: status, conclusion, runner label, requested CPU/memory, duration, billable time and GitHub URL. Defaults to the last 30 days (max window 90 days). Depot: GithubActionsService/ListGithubActionsJobs.

depot_gha_list_recommendations

List Depot's runner-size recommendations from job CPU and memory metrics: SIZE_UP when average CPU or memory reaches 90%, SIZE_DOWN when both averages stay ≤30% and peaks ≤70%, with current vs suggested size and per-minute price. Defaults to the last 30 days. Depot: GithubActionsService/ListGithubActionsRecommendations.

depot_gha_search_logs

Search GitHub Actions log lines from Depot runners, newest match first (job, workflow, step, timestamp, body, lineId). Defaults to the last hour (max window 30 days). Filter by repository, workflow, runner label, action or compute id. Depot: GithubActionsService/SearchGithubActionsLogs.

depot_list_builds

List container builds in a project, newest first: status (STATUS_RUNNING / FAILED / SUCCESS / ERROR / CANCELED), timestamps, build duration, time saved by cache, and cached vs total steps. Depot: core BuildService/ListBuilds.

depot_list_projects

List the organization's Depot projects. A project is an isolated container-build cache (region, hardware, cache policy). Use the returned projectId with the build and registry tools. Depot: ProjectService/ListProjects.

depot_list_registry_images

List the images stored in a project's Depot Registry: tag, digest, pushedAt and sizeBytes. Depot: build.v1 RegistryService/ListImages.
