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
workspacesskill; ask if the user wants another valid path - User wants to deploy → prefer
deployskill; ask if the user wants another valid path - User wants to see running apps → prefer
applicationsskill; ask if the user wants another valid path
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.

</instructions>
<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 (
deploy, list workspaces, etc.)
</success_criteria>
<troubleshooting>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.
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%/}}"
</troubleshooting>

Composability
- After status OK: Use any other skill (workspaces, applications, deploy, etc.)
- To set credentials: Export env vars or create .env file
- If using tool calls: Use
tfy_config_setto persist credentials
