WHAT IT DOES

What dokploy_redeploy_compose does on Dokploy

AI agents invoke dokploy_redeploy_compose 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

Redeploying a compose stack triggers an external operation that restarts/redeploys running infrastructure. This is an Execute-category action as it initiates deployment workflows with real side effects on running services.
