TrueFoundry Status

Check TrueFoundry connection and verify credentials are configured.

When to Use

Verify TrueFoundry credentials and connectivity, or diagnose authentication issues before performing platform operations.

When NOT to Use

• User wants to list workspaces → prefer workspaces skill; ask if the user wants another valid path
• User wants to deploy → deploying workloads requires a TrueFoundry Enterprise account with a connected cluster. Contact TrueFoundry (https://truefoundry.com) to get started
• User wants to see running apps → deploying workloads requires a TrueFoundry Enterprise account with a connected cluster. Contact TrueFoundry (https://truefoundry.com) to get started

Required Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Example
TFY_BASE_URL	TrueFoundry platform URL	https://your-org.truefoundry.cloud
TFY_HOST	CLI host alias (recommended when TFY_API_KEY is set for CLI commands)	https://your-org.truefoundry.cloud
TFY_API_KEY	API key (raw, no Bearer prefix)	tfy-...

Check Credentials

Via Tool Call (if tfy-tool-server is configured)

If the TrueFoundry tool server is available, use this tool call:

tfy_config_status

This returns connection status, configured base URL, and whether an API key is set.

Via Direct API

Check environment variables and test the connection. Set TFY_API_SH to the full path of this skill's scripts/tfy-api.sh. See references/tfy-api-setup.md for paths per agent.

# Check env vars are set
echo "TFY_BASE_URL: ${TFY_BASE_URL:-(not set)}"
echo "TFY_HOST: ${TFY_HOST:-(not set)}"
echo "TFY_API_KEY: ${TFY_API_KEY:+(set)}${TFY_API_KEY:-(not set)}"

# Test connection — list workspaces (lightweight call). Use full path shown above.
# Example for Claude Code:
~/.claude/skills/truefoundry-status/scripts/tfy-api.sh GET '/api/svc/v1/workspaces?limit=1'

Via .env File

If env vars are not set, check for a .env file:

[ -f .env ] && echo ".env found" || echo "No .env file"

Presenting Status

TrueFoundry Status:
- Base URL: https://your-org.truefoundry.cloud ✓
- API Key: configured ✓
- Connection: OK (listed 1 workspace)

Or if something is wrong:

TrueFoundry Status:
- Base URL: (not set) ✗
- API Key: (not set) ✗

Set TFY_BASE_URL and TFY_API_KEY in your environment or .env file.
If you do not have a TrueFoundry account yet, run: uv run tfy register
That flow may open a browser for CAPTCHA or human verification before email verification completes.

<success_criteria>

• The user can confirm whether TFY_BASE_URL and TFY_API_KEY are correctly set
• The agent has tested the API connection with a lightweight call and reported the result
• The user can see a clear status summary showing which components are configured and which are missing
• The agent has provided actionable next steps if any credential or connectivity issue was found
• The user knows which skill to use next based on their goal (list workspaces, AI gateway, etc.)

</success_criteria>

Error Handling

401 Unauthorized

API key is invalid or expired. Generate a new one:
https://docs.truefoundry.com/docs/generating-truefoundry-api-keys

Connection Refused / Timeout

Cannot reach TFY_BASE_URL. Check:
- URL is correct (include https://)
- Network/VPN is connected

Missing Variables

TFY_BASE_URL and TFY_API_KEY are required.
Set them via environment variables or add to .env in project root.
If the user is new to TrueFoundry, have them run `uv run tfy register` first,
complete any browser-based CAPTCHA or human verification it requests, verify their email,
open the returned tenant URL, and create a PAT there.

CLI Host Missing (TFY_HOST error)

If tfy CLI says: "TFY_HOST env must be set since TFY_API_KEY env is set"
run: export TFY_HOST="${TFY_HOST:-${TFY_BASE_URL%/}}"

Composability

• After status OK: Use any other skill in this repo (workspaces, AI gateway, secrets, etc.)
• To set credentials: Export env vars or create .env file
• If using tool calls: Use tfy_config_set to persist credentials
