Available tools 32

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

hetzner

hetzner_change_server_protection

Turn deletion and rebuild protection on or off for a server. Turning protection ON is the safest write in this server. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/change_protection.

hetzner_create_image_from_server

Create a snapshot image from a server's disk — the safe thing to do BEFORE a risky change. Snapshots are billed for the space they use. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/create_image.

hetzner_create_server

Provision a new server. THIS STARTS BILLING: the chosen server type is charged by the hour from the moment it boots. Call hetzner_list_server_types first to see prices, and hetzner_list_images for a bootable image. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers.

hetzner_disable_server_backup

Turn off automatic backups for a server. Existing backups are DELETED. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/disable_backup.

hetzner_enable_server_backup

Turn on automatic backups for a server. This adds roughly 20% to the server's price. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/enable_backup.

hetzner_get_action

Fetch the status of one asynchronous action. Every write tool here returns an action id — poll it with this to see whether the operation finished. Hetzner Cloud: GET /actions/{id}.

hetzner_get_certificates

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates/{id}.

hetzner_get_firewalls

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls/{id}.

hetzner_get_floating_ips

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips/{id}.

hetzner_get_load_balancers

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers/{id}.

hetzner_get_networks

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks/{id}.

hetzner_get_pricing

Fetch the full price list for the project's currency — server types, volumes, traffic, floating IPs, load balancers and backups. Hetzner Cloud: GET /pricing.

hetzner_get_primary_ips

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips/{id}.

hetzner_get_server

Fetch a single server with its type, image, IPs, volumes, networks and protection flags. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}.

hetzner_get_server_metrics

Fetch CPU, disk or network time series for one server over a window. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}/metrics.

hetzner_get_ssh_keys

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys/{id}.

hetzner_get_volumes

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes/{id}.

hetzner_list_certificates

List TLS certificates, managed or uploaded, and their expiry. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates.

hetzner_list_firewalls

List firewalls, their rules and which resources they are applied to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls.

hetzner_list_floating_ips

List floating IPs and which server each is assigned to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips.

hetzner_list_images

List OS images, snapshots and backups you can boot or restore from. Hetzner Cloud: GET /images.

hetzner_list_load_balancers

List load balancers, their services, targets and health status. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers.

hetzner_list_locations

List the datacentre locations (city, country, network zone) servers can run in. Hetzner Cloud: GET /locations.

hetzner_list_networks

List private networks, their IP ranges, subnets and routes. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks.

hetzner_list_primary_ips

List primary IPs and their assignments. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips.

hetzner_list_server_types

List the available server types with their cores, memory, disk and hourly and monthly prices — read this before creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /server_types.

hetzner_list_servers

List the servers in the token's project, optionally filtered by name, status or a label selector. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers.

hetzner_list_ssh_keys

List the SSH public keys available to inject when creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys.

hetzner_list_volumes

List block-storage volumes, their size and which server they are attached to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes.

hetzner_poweron_server

Power on a stopped server. Returns an action id — poll it with hetzner_get_action. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/poweron.

hetzner_reboot_server

Reboot a server gracefully via ACPI. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/reboot.

hetzner_shutdown_server

Ask the guest OS to shut down gracefully via ACPI. Prefer this over a hard power-off. Note that a stopped server still costs money — only deleting it stops the bill. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/shutdown.
