# rarcane

Use the `arcane` MCP tool for Arcane Docker management. Prefer read actions first. For destructive actions, explain the likely effect and pass `params.confirm=true` only after the user has clearly asked for the operation.

## Common Calls

```text
mcp__rarcane__arcane(action="status")
mcp__rarcane__arcane(action="elicit_name")
mcp__rarcane__arcane(action="scaffold_intent")
mcp__rarcane__arcane(action="container", subaction="list", envId="default")
mcp__rarcane__arcane(action="project", subaction="list", envId="default")
mcp__rarcane__arcane(action="system", subaction="docker-info", envId="default")
mcp__rarcane__arcane(action="container", subaction="stop", envId="default", id="nginx", params={"confirm":true})
```

## Domains

`elicit_name` and `scaffold_intent` are MCP-only elicitation workflows. The
latter returns a side-effect-free planning contract; it does not grant file
mutation permission.

| Domain | Typical Read Actions | Typical Write Actions |
|---|---|---|
| `environment` | `list`, `get`, `test` | `create`, `update`, `delete` |
| `project` | `list`, `get` | `create`, `up`, `down`, `restart`, `pull`, `destroy`, `redeploy`, `build` |
| `container` | `list`, `get`, `stats` | `create`, `start`, `stop`, `restart`, `update`, `delete` |
| `image` | `list`, `get` | `pull`, `delete`, `prune`, `scan` |
| `network` | `list`, `get` | `create`, `delete`, `prune` |
| `volume` | `list`, `get`, `browse`, `list-backups` | `create`, `delete`, `prune`, backup and restore actions |
| `system` | `docker-info`, `convert` | `prune`, `start-all`, `stop-all` |
| `image-update` | `check-all`, `check`, `check-batch`, `summary` | none |
| `vulnerability` | `summary`, `list`, `scanner-status`, `list-ignored` | `ignore`, `unignore` |
| `registry` | `list`, `get`, `test` | `create`, `update`, `delete` |
| `gitops` | `list`, `get`, `status`, `browse` | `create`, `update`, `delete`, `sync` |

## Safety

- Never pass Arcane API keys through MCP arguments.
- Do not call destructive subactions without explicit user intent.
- Include `envId` for environment-scoped actions.
- Use `help` with an optional domain when unsure.
