WHAT IT DOES

What dokploy_redeploy_application does on Dokploy

AI agents invoke dokploy_redeploy_application to trigger actions in Dokploy. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why dokploy_redeploy_application needs a policy

Redeploying an application triggers an external operation — rebuilding and restarting a running service — which has real side effects (downtime, state changes, resource consumption) but is not inherently irreversible or financial. This fits the Execute category as it runs an external operational process whose impact depends on which application is targeted.
