Service Management
Use this skill for explicit service operations after health checks or log analysis identify a service-level issue.
Runtime Invocation
The Go implementation is registered by RegisterCoreSkills and invoked as "service-management":
registry.Execute(ctx, "service-management", &skills.SkillInput{Params: map[string]interface{}{
"operation": "status",
"service": "nginx",
"lines": 100,
}})
Supported operations are status, logs, start, stop, and restart. Non-Linux systems currently support status via process lookup.
Workflow
- Prefer
status or logs before changing service state.
- For
stop, start, or restart, explain the intended action and approval requirement.
- Pass
allow_dangerous=true only after explicit user/operator approval.
- Verify with
status after a state-changing operation.
Safety
State-changing commands may be blocked by the runtime CommandInterceptor. Never bypass dangerous-command checks by constructing arbitrary shell commands.
