Perplexity

Monitor and debug deployments

When a build fails, you need immediate context. Use `get_logs` to pull runtime logs for specific projects. You can filter these entries by time or project ID, which is perfect for debugging deployment issues. This tool doesn't just give you text dumps; it structures the output, showing timestamps, messages, and source. It lets your agent pinpoint exactly where a build failed.

Manage environment variables

You don't want to manually check every setting. The `list_env_vars` tool retrieves all keys, target environments (like production or preview), and types for any project ID. Remember that the values themselves are never shown for security. Need to add a new secret? Use `create_env_var`. It requires the project ID, key, and value, letting your agent provision variables across specific targets like `production` or `development`.

Inspect all live domains

Checking which URLs point where can be a pain. The `list_domains` function gives you an inventory of every domain configured for the team, including its verification status and SSL certificate health. It also details DNS records and any redirect configurations in place. You get a full picture of your web presence without having to jump into a separate console.
