Can I suspend a running worker to save money?

Absolutely. You can execute `suspend_service` passing the specific Service ID (e.g. `srv-xyz`). The target resource will immediately enter the suspended state.

If a deploy fails, can I instruct the agent to re-deploy without using previous cache files?

Yes! The `create_deploy` tool specifically maps a `clearCache` parameter. Telling your agent to 'deploy without cache' will map it appropriately, guaranteeing a clean build layer from your repository.

How do I easily extract the full list of Secrets / Environment variables for local parity?

Run `list_env_vars` for your backend service. It will return all key-value mappings perfectly, allowing you to instantly align your local `.env` with production secrets.
