Managing Anyscale

Anyscale Management Skill

Manage and analyze Anyscale platform resources including services, clusters, jobs, and deployments.

API Conventions

Authentication

All API calls use Bearer API key, injected automatically.

Base URL

https://api.anyscale.com/v2

Core Helper Function

#!/bin/bash

anyscale_api() {
    local method="$1"
    local endpoint="$2"
    local data="${3:-}"

    if [ -n "$data" ]; then
        curl -s -X "$method" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANYSCALE_API_KEY" \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            "https://api.anyscale.com/v2${endpoint}" \
            -d "$data"
    else
        curl -s -X "$method" \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANYSCALE_API_KEY" \
            "https://api.anyscale.com/v2${endpoint}"
    fi
}

Output Rules

• Target ≤50 lines per script output
• Use jq to extract only needed fields
• Never dump full API responses

Phase 1: Discovery

#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Services ==="
anyscale_api GET "/services?count=20" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.id[0:16])\t\(.name)\t\(.state)\t\(.created_at[0:10])"' \
    | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Clusters ==="
anyscale_api GET "/sessions?count=20" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.id[0:16])\t\(.name)\t\(.state)\t\(.created_at[0:10])"' \
    | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Jobs ==="
anyscale_api GET "/jobs?count=20" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.id[0:16])\t\(.name[0:30])\t\(.state)\t\(.created_at[0:10])"' \
    | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Cloud Configurations ==="
anyscale_api GET "/clouds" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.id[0:16])\t\(.name)\t\(.provider)\t\(.region)"' | head -10

Phase 2: Analysis

Service Health

#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Service Status Summary ==="
anyscale_api GET "/services?count=50" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | .state' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

echo ""
echo "=== Running Services ==="
anyscale_api GET "/services?count=20&state=RUNNING" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.name)\t\(.state)\t\(.current_version)\t\(.base_url[0:40])"' \
    | column -t | head -15

echo ""
echo "=== Failed Services ==="
anyscale_api GET "/services?count=10&state=SYSTEM_FAILURE,UNHEALTHY" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.name)\t\(.state)\t\(.status_message[0:60])"' | head -10

Job & Cluster Analytics

#!/bin/bash
echo "=== Job Status Summary ==="
anyscale_api GET "/jobs?count=100" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | .state' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

echo ""
echo "=== Active Clusters ==="
anyscale_api GET "/sessions?count=20&state=RUNNING" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.name)\t\(.state)\t\(.head_node_type)\t\(.num_workers) workers"' \
    | column -t | head -10

echo ""
echo "=== Recent Failed Jobs ==="
anyscale_api GET "/jobs?count=10&state=FAILED" \
    | jq -r '.results[] | "\(.id[0:16])\t\(.name[0:30])\t\(.created_at[0:10])\t\(.error_message[0:50] // "no error")"' \
    | head -10

Output Format

=== Anyscale Account ===
Services: <n>  Clusters: <n>  Jobs: <n>

--- Service Health ---
Running: <n>  Unhealthy: <n>  Failed: <n>

--- Job Summary ---
Succeeded: <n>  Running: <n>  Failed: <n>

--- Clusters ---
Active: <n>  Total Workers: <n>

Anti-Hallucination Rules

1. NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
2. NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or --help output.
3. NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
4. ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
5. ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

Counter-Rationalizations

Common Pitfalls

• Service states: STARTING, RUNNING, UPDATING, UNHEALTHY, SYSTEM_FAILURE, TERMINATED
• Pagination: Use count and paging_token for list endpoints
• Rate limits: Check response headers for current rate limit status
• Cloud scoping: Resources are scoped to specific cloud configurations
