Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Mcp Zuul Tools (45)

list_builds

Search builds by project, pipeline, job, change, result. Includes `buildset_uuid` for cross-referencing.

get_build

Full build details — nodeset, log URL, artifacts, error detail. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.

get_build_failures

Start here for failures.** Structured task-level data from `job-output.json` — failed play, task, host, msg, rc, stderr/stdout. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.

diagnose_build

One-call failure diagnosis.** Combines structured failures from `job-output.json` with targeted log context (fatal/FAILED lines with surrounding context from `job-output.txt`). Use instead of calling `get_build_failures` + `get_build_log` separately. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.

get_build_log

Read and search log files. Modes: `summary` (tail + error lines), `full` (paginated), `grep` (regex + context), `start_line`/`end_line` (exact range). Supports `log_name` for any file. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
