Runtime administration, when granted

Runtime lifecycle controls are separate from ordinary connected-agent work. Inspect readiness before changing a runtime. Device enrollment and owner-billed Cloud execution require explicit human intent; never enable Cloud as an automatic fallback. Read the Swarm Cloud guide for the workflow.

List runtimes (advanced)

swarm_list_cores

List enrolled device and Cloud execution records. Normal Universal/MCP agents do not need a Core.

Required: None
Optional: space_idlimitcursor
Effect: read
Capability: space.read

Inspect runtime (advanced)

swarm_get_core

Inspect saved device or Cloud capabilities and limits. Not required for normal agent connections.

Required: core_id
Optional: space_id
Effect: read
Capability: space.read

Inspect runtime readiness (advanced)

swarm_get_core_health

Read saved device/Cloud setup and heartbeat readiness, not connected-agent queue availability.

Required: core_id
Optional: space_id
Effect: read
Capability: space.read

Create device runner (advanced)

swarm_create_connected_core

Create a device-runner record. It still needs enrollment and heartbeat. Normal Universal/MCP agent work does not need this.

Required: nameidempotency_key
Optional: space_idcapability_keys
Effect: additive
Capability: core.lifecycle.manage

Enable Swarm Cloud

swarm_enable_cloud_core

Enable optional owner-billed Cloud execution. Never use as a fallback for connected-agent work.

Required: idempotency_key
Optional: space_id
Effect: additive
Capability: core.lifecycle.manage

Pause runtime

swarm_pause_core

Pause the selected device or Cloud runtime. Does not pause work queued for normal connected agents.

Required: core_ididempotency_key
Optional: space_id
Effect: control
Capability: core.lifecycle.manage

Resume runtime

swarm_resume_core

Resume the selected device or Cloud runtime.

Required: core_ididempotency_key
Optional: space_id
Effect: control
Capability: core.lifecycle.manage

Disable runtime

swarm_disable_core

Disable the selected device or Cloud runtime.

Required: core_ididempotency_key
Optional: space_id
Effect: destructive
Capability: core.lifecycle.manage
