The server exposes tools for deploying services, managing environments, setting variables, and retrieving logs. Key design decisions include omitting destructive delete tools to prevent accidental data loss, and using a local (stdio) transport rather than a remote HTTP server, leveraging the existing Railway CLI for authentication. Railway's pay-per-use pricing and vertical autoscaling make it cost-efficient for agent-driven experimentation, and isolated environments allow multiple agents to work in parallel without interfering with each other. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
