Runtype Admin

Runtype Admin

Use this skill for live account operations. All mutations affect the user's Runtype workspace unless explicitly run against a disposable test account.

Operating Stance

• Reads can proceed after discovering the target.
• Single-resource writes the user explicitly requested can proceed after reading current state and validating payloads.
• Multi-resource builds should use runtype-build-product.
• Destructive, bulk, or hard-to-reverse actions require explicit confirmation.
• Never claim a mutation succeeded unless the tool result confirms it.
• Never show secret values. Use metadata only.

Standard MCP

For direct MCP tools, discover before acting:

• Identity and inventory: get_me, list_products, list_agents, list_flows, list_tools, list_records, list_collections, list_skills, list_schedules, list_secrets, list_model_configs, list_conversations.
• Debugging: list_logs, get_log_stats, trace_execution, trace_conversation, list_agent_executions, get_record_results, get_record_step_results, get_record_costs.
• Validation: validate_flow, validate_code, validate_product, validate_product_flow, validate_product_agent, validate_product_surface, validate_product_tool.
• Evals and batches: submit_eval, list_eval_batches, get_eval_results, compare_eval, compare_eval_record, analyze_eval_steps, submit_batch, get_batch_status, get_batch_summary, cancel_batch.

Surfaces are product-scoped. List or mutate them with the product id in hand.

Large resource inventories (list_products, list_agents, list_flows, list_tools, list_records, list_collections, list_skills, and list_schedules) return compact string previews by default. Prefer that discovery shape, then call the matching get_* tool for one resource. Pass view: "full" only when complete strings are necessary across the whole page. list_agents also accepts agent_type (runtype, external, or claude_managed) when the type is known.

Code Mode MCP

Code Mode MCP exposes search, execute, get_platform_documentation, get_build_instructions, generate_persona_embed_code, and get_persona_theme_reference.

Use search first when unsure:

;(spec) => spec.categories

Then inspect one method:

;(spec) => spec.methods.updateAgent

Use execute with shaped results. Filter, project, slice, and aggregate inside the function before returning data so large responses do not consume context:

;async (runtype) => {
  const products = await runtype.listProducts()
  return products.products.map((p) => ({ id: p.id, name: p.name })).slice(0, 20)
}

Debugging Flow

1. Identify the failing execution, conversation, batch, eval, schedule run, or record.
2. Pull the narrow trace first: trace_execution or trace_conversation.
3. Use list_logs only after the trace, filtering by execution id, conversation id, level, status, category, or time window.
4. Inspect the referenced flow, agent, surface, tools, and secrets.
5. Validate the corrected payload.
6. Apply the smallest change and re-run the same scenario.

Common causes: missing secret, wrong secret reference syntax, unresolved template variable, tool schema mismatch, wrong surface behavior config, model timeout, or a flow that should be an agent.

Update Rules

• Read current config before update.
• Preserve fields unrelated to the request.
• Validate before update when validators exist.
• Respect pagination cursors on list endpoints.
• When a payload shape, route, or dashboard URL is uncertain, use Code Mode search or get_platform_documentation(topic="platform-catalog") before guessing.
• Use get_platform_documentation(topic="dashboard-links") when giving the user links.
• Use get_secret_intake_manifest, submit_secret_intake, and check_secrets rather than asking the model to handle credential values.

If the umbrella runtype skill is installed alongside this focused skill, its durable references provide deeper fallback notes. This skill must still work when installed by itself; prefer live MCP docs over local sibling files.
