Run Railway MCP status tools first (`check-railway-status`, `list-projects`, `list-services`). 2. Confirm current linked project/service/environment before deploy actions. 3. If project is not linked, link it before proceeding. 4. For failed checks, stop and report exact failure and next command. ## Output expectations - Return linked project/service/environment names. - Return whether auth is valid. - Return a short action plan for deploy/debug. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/kamyil) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
