# Use Available Integrations

> Discovers session platform integrations, inspects existing state, and acts only on the delta — falling back to direct API or CLI when tools lack an operation. Use when deploying, provisioning, or managing Vercel, GitHub, Railway, Neon, or other external platform resources.

# Use Available Integrations

Discover what's available, load tools, inspect state, act on the delta only.

## The move

1. **Discover** — what platform integrations/tools the session exposes.
2. **Load tools** — don't call raw API when a loaded tool covers the op.
3. **Inspect state** — existing projects, deploy status, repos (ground truth).
4. **Act on delta** — create/deploy only what's missing; don't redeploy green projects.
5. **Fallback** — direct authenticated API for ops tools don't expose; reuse same credential.

## Why delta-only

Redeploying green projects wastes work and risk. "Two missing projects" is the actual work.

## Extended patterns

Credentials, monorepo deploy gotchas, prod architecture, fallback order: [reference.md](reference.md)

## Anti-patterns

Assuming nothing deployed; asking for token when stored; raw API when tool exists; acting without inspecting state.
