config_helper

This tool helps analyze and validate and fix CircleCI configuration files.

Parameters:

  • params: An object containing:
    • configFile: string - The full contents of the CircleCI config file as a string. This should be the raw YAML content, not a file path.

Example usage: { "params": { "configFile": "version: 2.1 orbs: node: circleci/node@7 ..." } }

Note: The configFile content should be provided as a properly escaped string with newlines represented as .

Tool output instructions: - If the config is invalid, the tool will return the errors and the original config. Use the errors to fix the config. - If the config is valid, do nothing.

create_prompt_template

ABOUT THIS TOOL:

  • This tool is part of a toolchain that generates and provides test cases for a prompt template.
  • This tool helps an AI assistant to generate a prompt template based on one of the following:
    1. feature requirements defined by a user - in which case the tool will generate a new prompt template based on the feature requirements.
    2. a pre-existing prompt or prompt template that a user wants to test, evaluate, or modify - in which case the tool will convert it into a more structured and testable prompt template while leaving the original prompt language relatively unchanged.
  • This tool will return a structured prompt template (e.g. template) along with a context schema (e.g. contextSchema) that defines the expected input parameters for the prompt template.
  • In some cases, a user will want to add test coverage for ALL of the prompts in a given application. In these cases, the AI agent should use this tool to generate a prompt template for each prompt in the application, and should check the entire application for AI prompts that are not already covered by a prompt template in the ./prompts directory.

WHEN SHOULD THIS TOOL BE TRIGGERED?

  • This tool should be triggered whenever the user provides requirements for a new AI-enabled application or a new AI-enabled feature of an existing application (i.e. one that requires a prompt request to an LLM or any AI model).
  • This tool should also be triggered if the user provides a pre-existing prompt or prompt template from their codebase that they want to test, evaluate, or modify.
  • This tool should be triggered even if there are pre-existing files in the ./prompts directory with the <relevant-name>.prompt.yml convention (e.g. bedtime-story-generator.prompt.yml, plant-care-assistant.prompt.yml, customer-support-chatbot.prompt.yml, etc.). Similar files should NEVER be generated directly by the AI agent. Instead, the AI agent should use this tool to first generate a new prompt template.

PARAMETERS:

  • params: object
    • prompt: string (the feature requirements or pre-existing prompt/prompt template that will be used to generate a prompt template. Can be a multi-line string.)
    • promptOrigin: "codebase" | "requirements" (indicates whether the prompt comes from an existing codebase or from new requirements)
    • model: string (the model that the prompt template will be tested against. Explicitly specify the model if it can be inferred from the codebase. Otherwise, defaults to gpt-4.1-mini.)
    • temperature: number (the temperature of the prompt template. Explicitly specify the temperature if it can be inferred from the codebase. Otherwise, defaults to 1.)

EXAMPLE USAGE (from new requirements): { "params": { "prompt": "Create an app that takes any topic and an age (in years), then renders a 1-minute bedtime story for a person of that age.", "promptOrigin": "requirements" "model": "gpt-4.1-mini" "temperature": 1.0 } }

EXAMPLE USAGE (from pre-existing prompt/prompt template in codebase): { "params": { "prompt": "The user wants a bedtime story about {{topic}} for a person of age {{age}} years old. Please craft a captivating tale that captivates their imagination and provides a delightful bedtime experience.", "promptOrigin": "codebase" "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-latest" "temperature": 0.7 } }

TOOL OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS:

  • The tool will return...
    • a template that reformulates the user's prompt into a more structured format.
    • a contextSchema that defines the expected input parameters for the template.
    • a promptOrigin that indicates whether the prompt comes from an existing prompt or prompt template in the user's codebase or from new requirements.
  • The tool output -- the template, contextSchema, and promptOrigin -- will also be used as input to the recommend_prompt_template_tests tool to generate a list of recommended tests that can be used to test the prompt template.
recommend_prompt_template_tests

About this tool:

  • This tool is part of a toolchain that generates and provides test cases for a prompt template.
  • This tool generates an array of recommended tests for a given prompt template.

Parameters:

  • params: object
    • promptTemplate: string (the prompt template to be tested)
    • contextSchema: object (the context schema that defines the expected input parameters for the prompt template)
    • promptOrigin: "codebase" | "requirements" (indicates whether the prompt comes from an existing codebase or from new requirements)
    • model: string (the model that the prompt template will be tested against)

Example usage: { "params": { "promptTemplate": "The user wants a bedtime story about {{topic}} for a person of age {{age}} years old. Please craft a captivating tale that captivates their imagination and provides a delightful bedtime experience.", "contextSchema": { "topic": "string", "age": "number" }, "promptOrigin": "codebase" } }

The tool will return a structured array of test cases that can be used to test the prompt template.

Tool output instructions: - The tool will return a recommendedTests array that can be used to test the prompt template.

The projectSlug is required for many other CircleCI tools, and will be used for those tool calls after a project is selected Note: If pagination limits are reached, the tool will indicate that not all projects could be displayed. IMPORTANT: Do not automatically run any additional tools after this tool is called. Wait for explicit user instruction before executing further tool calls. The LLM MUST NOT invoke any other CircleCI tools until receiving a clear instruction from the user about what to do next, even if the user selects a project. It is acceptable to list out tool call options for the user to choose from, but do not execute them until instructed.

run_rollback_pipeline
Run a rollback pipeline for a CircleCI project. This tool guides you through the full rollback process, adapting to the information you provide and prompting for any missing details. **Initial Step:** - First, call the `listFollowedProjects` tool to retrieve the list of projects the user follows. - Then, ask the user to select a project by providing either a `projectID` or the exact `projectSlug` as returned by `listFollowedProjects`. **Typical Flow:** 1. **Start:** User initiates a rollback request. 2. **Project Selection:** If a `projectSlug` or `projectID` is not provided, call `listFollowedProjects` and prompt the user to select a project using the exact value returned. 3. **Execute the tool and list the versions.** 4. **Workflow Rerun:** - Inform the user of the fact that no rollback pipeline is defined for this project. - Ask the user if they want to rerun a workflow. - If the user wants to rerun a workflow, execute the tool with rollback_type set to `WORKFLOW_RERUN`. Do not propose to choose another project. 6. **Component Selection:** - If the project has multiple components, present up to 20 options for the user to choose from. - If there is only one component, proceed automatically and do not ask the user to select a component. 7. **Environment Selection:** - If the project has multiple environments, present up to 20 options for the user to choose from. - If there is only one environment, proceed automatically and do not ask the user to select an environment. 8. **Version Selection:** - Present the user with available versions to rollback to, based on the selected environment and component. Include the namespace for each version. - Ask for both the current deployed version and the target version to rollback to. 9. **Optional Details:** - If the rollback type is `PIPELINE`, prompt the user for an optional reason for the rollback (e.g., "Critical bug fix"). - If the rollback type is `WORKFLOW_RERUN`, provide the workflow ID of the selected version to the tool. - provide the namespace for the selected version to the tool. 10. **Confirmation:** - Summarize the rollback request and confirm with the user before submitting. **Parameters:** - Either `projectSlug` (e.g., "gh/organization/repository") or `projectID` (UUID) must be provided. - `environment_name` (optional at first if multiple environments): The target environment (e.g., "production", "staging"). - `component_name` (optional at first components): The component to rollback (e.g., "frontend", "backend"). - `current_version` (optional at first): The currently deployed version. - `target_version` (optional at first): The version to rollback to. - `reason` (optional): Reason for the rollback. - `parameters` (optional): Additional rollback parameters as key-value pairs. **Behavior:** - If there are more than 20 environments or components, ask the user to refine their selection. - Never attempt to guess or construct project slugs or URLs; always use values provided by the user or from `listFollowedProjects`. - Do not prompt for missing parameters until versions have been listed. - Do not call this tool with incomplete parameters. - If the selected project lacks rollback pipeline configuration, provide a definitive error message without suggesting alternative projects. **Returns:**
  • On success: The rollback ID or a confirmation in case of workflow rerun.
    • On error: A clear message describing what is missing or what went wrong.
    • If the selected project does not have a rollback pipeline configured: The tool will provide a clear error message specific to that project and will NOT suggest trying another project.

    Important Note:

    • This tool is designed to work only with the specific project provided by the user.
    • If a project does not have rollback capability configured, the tool will NOT suggest alternatives or recommend trying other projects.
    • The assistant should NOT suggest trying different projects when a project lacks rollback configuration.
    • Each project must have its own rollback pipeline configuration to be eligible for rollback operations.
    • When a project cannot be rolled back, provide only the configuration guidance for THAT specific project.

    If neither option is fully satisfied, prompt the user for the missing information before making the tool call.
