What

Adds a flyio/core built-in toolset wrapping flyctl, the same pattern
docker.yaml uses for the Docker CLI: app status, recent logs (bounded,
not tailing), machine list/status, health checks, release history, scale
config, and secret names (never values).

Why

The docs say "no Kubernetes required — works with any infrastructure,"
which is true of the CLI itself but not of the built-in toolsets: of the
~25 shipped today, all but a handful (internet, bash,
core_investigation, skills, connectivity_check) are
Kubernetes/cloud-native-specific (kubernetes/*, openshift/*, aks/*,
cilium, argocd, kubevela, ...). There's currently no adapter for a
PaaS like Fly.io, Render, or Railway — a team running a plain VM/PaaS
stack has almost nothing to plug into out of the box. This fills that gap
for Fly.io specifically.

Validation

Beyond the unit tests in this PR (toolset loads, exact tool set, no
destructive commands, prerequisite check, secret-values-never-exposed
pinned), this was validated against two real, live, actually-failing
production apps in different languages — not staged demos:

  • Node/Express app: correctly diagnosed a TTS backend timeout as root
    cause, and surfaced two problems that weren't part of the original ask
    (a machine stopped since the prior day halving capacity, and an
    unrelated third-party API 403).
  • Python/aiohttp app: correctly parsed multi-line stack traces
    (structurally different from the Node app's single-line errors),
    correctly distinguished a SIGABRT crash (exit code 134) from a requested
    stop (exit code -1), and again correctly identified the external
    WebSocket timeout as root cause.

Full transcripts, unedited:
https://github.com/tsushanth/holmesgpt-toolset-flyio/tree/main/docs

Notes for reviewers

  • All tools are read-only investigation commands; the test suite
    explicitly asserts no destructive substrings (destroy, delete,
    secrets set, scale set, deploy) appear in any command template.
  • docs_url points at the holmesgpt.dev/data-sources/builtin-toolsets/
    convention used by other built-in toolsets — happy to also add the docs
    page itself if that's expected as part of this PR rather than a
    follow-up.
  • Ran into the Python 3.14/prometrix incompatibility mentioned in
    CONTRIBUTING.md during local setup (unrelated to this change) — pinned
    to 3.12 via poetry to develop and test.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Fly.io toolset with read-only access to app status, logs, machines, health checks, releases, scaling settings, and secret names.
    • Added Fly CLI availability checks before running Fly.io tools.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for toolset loading, app scoping, read-only restrictions, prerequisites, bounded log output, and secret-safe command handling.

HolmesGPT's built-in toolsets are overwhelmingly Kubernetes/cloud-native
specific (kubernetes/*, openshift/*, aks/*, cilium, argocd, kubevela...)
despite the docs saying "no Kubernetes required, works with any
infrastructure." There is no adapter for a PaaS like Fly.io, Render, or
Railway. This adds one, wrapping flyctl the same way the existing
docker.yaml wraps the Docker CLI: app status, logs, machine health,
releases, scale config, and secret names (never values).

Validated against two real, live, actually-failing production apps in
different languages (Node and Python), not just loaded and asserted --
full transcripts at https://github.com/tsushanth/holmesgpt-toolset-flyio,
including a run that correctly distinguished a SIGABRT crash (exit 134)
from a requested stop on a multi-line Python traceback.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds the flyio/core toolset. It defines Fly CLI prerequisites and read-only commands for app inspection. Integration tests verify discovery, metadata, command restrictions, app scoping, prerequisites, bounded logs, and secret-name listing.

Changes

Fly.io core toolset

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and validate Fly.io inspection tools
holmes/plugins/toolsets/flyio.yaml, tests/plugins/toolsets/test_flyio_toolset.py
The toolset adds Fly CLI prerequisites and read-only commands for app status, logs, machines, health checks, releases, scaling configuration, and secret names. Tests verify the toolset contract, app scoping, destructive-command restrictions, prerequisite configuration, capped log output, and the exact secret-listing command.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bd57f

The read-only Fly.io toolset is mergeable with a bounded follow-up: its log test should enforce the documented 500-line cap so future changes cannot silently weaken output limits.

Cap Fly.io command output before returning it.

The command executor passes complete combined stdout/stderr to StructuredToolResult.data without truncation. Add a fixed byte or line cap for these collection commands and tests for truncation while preserving error details.

…ncident

Per CodeRabbit review: `fly logs --no-tail` has no built-in line limit, so
a genuinely noisy incident could return an oversized response. Caps to
the last 500 lines -- generous enough to preserve a multi-line stack
trace (needed in the proof runs) while bounding the worst case. Sanity
checked against a real Fly app.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the exact 500-line limit.

The assertion only checks that the command contains tail -n. It also passes for incorrect limits such as tail -n 1 or tail -n 5000. Match the numeric argument so the test protects the documented tail -n 500 contract.

Proposed test fix
+import re
+
...
-    assert "tail -n" in tool.command
+    assert re.search(r"(?:^|\s)tail\s+-n\s+500(?:\s|$)", tool.command)

Re: the License Compliance check ("12 issues found") — this PR adds two files (a YAML toolset definition and a pytest test file) and zero new dependencies, so this is very likely a pre-existing repo-wide finding rather than something introduced here. Happy to look into it further if a maintainer can point me at the actual issue list (the check has no target_url from what I can see via the API).
