Want to know what happened with the last build? Use `list_deployments` to see recent CI/CD runs for any project. Need specific details on one run? Call `get_deployment_details` and you get the full execution report.

You can list every single project in your account with `list_projects`, or check specific subdomains using `list_project_aliases`. If something changes on GitHub, you don't have to manually trigger it; just use `trigger_github_deployment` with the right ref.
