🔧 Operations Debugging (Build Runs & App Events)
Use these prompts to troubleshoot failed deployments or app startup issues with operational MCP tools.
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Build Runs
"Find my project named markus-app-v2-toronto, then call ce_list_build_runs for that project and summarize the latest 5 runs with status, start time, and any failed run IDs."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — App Events
"In project markus-app-v2-toronto, call ce_get_app_events for app starwars-splash and explain the most recent warning/error events plus the likely fix."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Build Run Events
"In project markus-app-v2-toronto, call ce_list_build_runs, pick the latest failed build run, then call ce_get_build_run_events and summarize the key failure events."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Build Run Logs
"In project markus-app-v2-toronto, use ce_list_build_runs to get the newest build run, then call ce_get_build_run_logs and show the final 50 log lines with any clear error cause."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Job Run Events
"In project markus-app-v2-toronto, list recent job runs and call ce_get_job_run_events for the most recent failed run, then summarize why it failed."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Restart App
"Restart app starwars-splash in project markus-app-v2-toronto with ce_restart_application, wait until it is healthy, and report the app URL and status."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Resubmit Job Run
"In project markus-app-v2-toronto, find the latest failed job run and resubmit it with ce_resubmit_job_run, then report the new run ID and current status."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Cancel Job Run
"In project markus-app-v2-toronto, find the most recent active job run and cancel it with ce_cancel_job_run, then confirm the updated run state."
💬 Ask AI Assistant — Project Quotas
"Call ce_get_project_quotas for project markus-app-v2-toronto and summarize CPU, memory, and instance quota usage with any limits near exhaustion."
🚀 Developer Splash Page
Deploy a personal developer profile card as a static nginx container. Found in examples/developer-splash/.
⚡ One-Shot Deploy
"I have an app in the examples/developer-splash folder. Please build it for linux/amd64, push it to my ICR namespace, and deploy it to my Code Engine project. If I don't have a pull secret, create one using my API key first. Let me know when it's live!"
🔧 Step 1 — Validate
"Can you validate the Dockerfile in examples/developer-splash to ensure it's compatible with Code Engine?"
🔧 Step 2 — Build & Push
"Please build the examples/developer-splash app and push it to my IBM Container Registry."
🔧 Step 3 — Deploy
"Deploy the developer-splash image to my Code Engine project. Check if I have a registry pull secret first, and create one if needed."
⭐ Star Wars Splash Page
Deploy an animated Star Wars opening-crawl page. Found in examples/starwars-splash/.
