# machine_doctor Deep remote-machine connectivity doctor. For a deviceId/name/alias, checks Convex heartbeat freshness, local+target Tailscale state, raw ICMP ping per candidate, Yaver HTTP /info reachability, relay/tunnel/LAN candidate verdicts, runner auth, and CPU/RAM/disk. Use this when a remote box is online in Convex but not reachable from PC/mobile, or when Tailscale hides a relay/free-relay failure.

Omit or pass local for this machine. | | `timeout_ms` | integer | no | Per-candidate probe timeout. Default 4000. Candidates run concurrently. | Parameters from the server's own tool schema. ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "machine_doctor", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why machine_doctor is rated Low machine_doctor is a diagnostic/monitoring tool that retrieves connectivity and system status information. It gathers data about remote machine health, network state, and availability through passive checks (heartbeats, ping responses, HTTP info endpoints) and resource queries (CPU/RAM/disk). No state changes, no deployments, no command execution occur as a result of this tool's operation. From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'checks' and 'reachability' — it performs diagnostic queries (heartbeat freshness, Tailscale state, ICMP ping, HTTP reachability, resource metrics) without modifying any state or executing commands on target machines." ## Use case AI agents call machine_doctor to retrieve information from Yaver without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Yaver: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "machine_doctor": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on Yaver (644) - `acl_remove_peer` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/acl-remove-peer.md - `cancel_schedule` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/cancel-schedule.md - `cloud_destroy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/cloud-destroy.md - `companion_down` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/companion-down.md - `data_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/data-delete.md - `db_push` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/db-push.md - `db_reset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/db-reset.md - `db_restore` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/db-restore.md - `dns_flush` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/dns-flush.md - `dns_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/dns-remove.md - `docker_prune` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/docker-prune.md - `docker_rm` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/docker-rm.md - `docker_rmi` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/docker-rmi.md - `feedback_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/feedback-delete.md - `forgot_password` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/forgot-password.md - `git_member_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/git-member-remove.md - `git_stash` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/git-stash.md - `guest_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/guest-delete.md - `guest_revoke` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/guest-revoke.md - `jobs_cancel` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/jobs-cancel.md - `machine_onboarding_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/machine-onboarding-remove.md - `machine_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/machine-remove.md - `migrate_rollback` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/migrate-rollback.md - `models_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/models-remove.md - `monitor_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/monitor-remove.md - `phone_project_delete` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/phone-project-delete.md - `proxy_remove` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/proxy-remove.md - `relay_clear_password` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/relay-clear-password.md - `release_rollback` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/release-rollback.md - `remote_destroy` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver/remote-destroy.md - …and 614 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-kivanccakmak-yaver.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
