Manage all team projects

For an engineering team, knowing the project landscape is key. The `list_projects` tool gives every developer a list of deployed applications, including their name, framework, and git repository location. If you need to scope down further, use `list_teams`. This shows all available teams, providing the necessary Team IDs that you can pass into other tools for filtering.

Handle project-wide credentials

Securing secrets is paramount. You can list existing environment variables using `list_env_vars` across a given project ID, checking which keys exist and where they are targeted. Need to add a new variable? The team can use `create_env_var`, providing the project ID, key, value, and target environments for consistent setup.

Audit domain and deployment lifecycles

Teams need visibility into who owns what. You can run `list_domains` to see all configured domains for a team, checking their SSL status or DNS records. It's great for initial setup audits. Need to know which deployments are running? Use `list_deployments`. This returns every deployment ID and its current status—whether it’s `READY`, `ERROR`, or still `BUILDING`.
