Perplexity

Full Worker lifecycle control

Deploy code snapshots and adjust traffic patterns using `create_deployment`. You can check current status with `list_workers` to see what is running right now. Debug production issues instantly by opening a stream with `create_tail_session`. When you finish your investigation, use `delete_tail_session` to clean up.

Manage secrets and environment variables

Inject sensitive keys into your runtime with `create_secret`. You can audit which keys exist for any script by running `list_secrets`. Keep your environment clean by using `delete_secret` when credentials rotate. This ensures your Claude Desktop session only sees active configuration.

Analyze traffic and storage data

Query your CDN performance using `get_zone_analytics`. This gives you a clear view of traffic spikes or potential errors. Inspect your D1 databases by running `query_d1` to pull live records. You can also audit KV namespaces with `list_kv_keys` to verify cached content.
