Tools Reference
Every public and local tool exposed by the Skytells MCP, including skytells_run for complete CLI coverage.
Public tools
Available on both the hosted server and the local server:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_models | List and filter the public model catalog. |
search_models | Search by name, namespace, description, vendor, modality, or capability. |
get_model | Fetch a single model by {vendor}/{model}. |
skytells_learn_search | Search Skytells Learn, optionally scoped by tag such as api. |
Call get_model before creating a prediction. Its input_schema defines the exact object expected by skytells_predictions_create — pass the returned bare namespace as model (for example mera-avatar, not skytells/mera-avatar).
Local tools
Available only when running the MCP locally, alongside an installed and authenticated CLI:
- CLI status and installation (
skytells_cli_status,skytells_cli_install) - Authentication status and setup (
skytells_auth_status,skytells_auth_setup) - Account and projects
- Prediction lifecycle: create, get, list, cancel, delete
save_output_to_fileandsave_generated_outputs
Complete CLI coverage
skytells_run covers every non-interactive command in the installed CLI, including projects, project settings, apps, deployments, Drops, models, predictions, databases, environment variables, domains, members, status, logs, cloud infrastructure, workflows, Orchestrator, Cloud Agents, and Cognition.
Destructive commands (for example apps rm, databases rm, cloud destroy) require explicit confirmation before skytells_run executes them.
Use skytells_cli_help with a command path — for example {"command":["agents","runs"]} — to read live help from the installed CLI. This keeps coverage current as Skytells/cli adds commands, including the Predictions commands documented here.
Interactive login, api-key set, and indefinite logs --follow are terminal workflows rather than bounded MCP calls — see Authentication.
