First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.\n\nSource: OpenCLI\n"},"fit":{"bestFor":"global deploys, machines, and app scaling from the terminal.","useThisIf":"You need deployments in both local dev and CI.","skipIf":"You're not comfortable with a tool that can write to production.","whatHappensNext":"Run `fly auth login && fly launch` and see what comes back."},"capabilities":{"agentFriendly":true,"supportsJsonOutput":false,"supportsNonInteractive":true,"supportsDryRun":false,"requiresAuth":true,"requiresNetwork":true,"ciFriendly":true,"localFirst":false,"destructivePotential":"high"},"taxonomy":{"useCases":["Global deploys","Machines","App scaling"],"aliases":["fly io cli"],"keywords":["deploy global apps"],"tags":["official","agent-friendly"]},"links":{"website":"https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/","github":"https://github.com/superfly/flyctl","docs":"https://fly.io/docs/flyctl/","opencli":"https://opencli.co/cli/flyctl","markdown":"https://opencli.co/cli/flyctl/agent.md","json":"https://opencli.co/cli/flyctl.json"},"metrics":{"githubStars":1665,"latestRelease":"2026-06-05T13:27:52Z","license":"Apache-2.0","metricLabel":"Homebrew installs (30d)","metricValue":16566,"metricSource":"homebrew","metricAsOf":"2026-06-08T11:00:30.465Z"}}
