Once tools (8, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
once_apply_protectionTransactionally apply exactly one PATCHABLE Once protection candidate. This modifies source code and creates a backup. Call once_plan_protection first, show the proposed target to the user, and only proceed after explicit approval.
once_assess_projectUse this first when code performs payments, refunds, payouts, bookings, orders, provisioning, database/API writes, consequential messaging, deployments, MCP writes, or other side effects. Scans the project for likely consequential operations without modifying files.
once_explain_riskExplain why a specific operation may need Once. Use when an agent or developer is deciding whether a payment, refund, booking, order, provisioning action, database/API mutation, webhook, deployment, MCP write, or other external side effect needs execution-safety protection.
once_live_proofReturn the current demonstrated Once proof, public evidence links, and safe claim boundaries. Use when deciding whether Once has evidence for duplicate suppression rather than relying on marketing language.
once_plan_protectionReview candidate operations for Once protection without applying code changes. Use after once_assess_project to understand which call sites are patchable and why.
once_plan_setupPreview how Once would be configured in a project without applying setup. Use after assessing a project and before allowing an agent to install or configure Once.
once_setup_projectApply Once setup to a project. This may install dependencies and modify project files. Call once_plan_setup first, present the plan to the user, and only call this tool after explicit approval.
once_verify_connectionwrite actionRun Once Doctor to verify that ONCE_API_KEY is present, Once Cloud is reachable, the key is accepted, the truth endpoint works, and the safety probe passes. Does not print the API key.
