Short answer

How can I audit my Fly.io setup using AI?

Your AI pulls live data from your Fly.io environment to check app settings, machine health, and volume attachments. You get a clear view of your infrastructure state without running manual CLI commands. This breakdown shows how your agent handles the inspection.

Where every issue lands.

Audit outcomes

The AI organizes your infrastructure data into these specific categories.

STATUS

Machine health checks

The AI uses machine data to report on which instances are running or idling. You see exactly which machines are active.

STORAGE

Volume inventory

Your agent identifies all attached NVMe volumes. You can quickly see which apps are using which storage assets.

CONFIG

App settings review

The AI pulls specific app configurations. You get a summary of how your apps are actually set up in the cloud.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI identifies discrepancies but won't change your settings. You decide when to trigger a deployment or a resize.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your natural language questions and the Fly.io API.

  1. Identify targets

    The agent first finds all your active applications to establish the scope of the audit.

    list_apps

  2. Check app details

    It pulls the specific configuration for a chosen app to check for errors or misconfigurations.

    get_app

  3. Inspect hardware

    The AI looks at the individual machines within an app to check their current status.

    list_machines

  4. Verify storage

    It scans for all volumes to ensure your data is correctly attached to the right machines.

    list_volumes

Use these prompts to begin your audit.

Starting points

Swap out the app names or volume IDs with your actual Fly.io identifiers.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my app configurations?

    No. The AI can only read your current settings. You must make all changes through the Fly.io CLI or dashboard.

  • 02

    Can the AI restart a machine if it's unhealthy?

    No. The AI identifies which machines are unhealthy, but it does not have the capability to perform restarts or deployments.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my secret environment variables?

    No. The tools only provide access to public app configurations and machine statuses.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which apps belong to me?

    It uses your authenticated Fly.io credentials to list only the apps you have permission to see.

  • 05

    Can I use this to monitor my NVMe volumes?

    Yes. The AI can list all volumes and check their status to help you manage your storage.
