Manage runtimes with the CLI

A runtime is the execution environment carrying one or more agents. Use mf runtime to inspect that environment and manage runtime-level services.

Inspect or remove a runtime

mf runtime list
mf runtime get art_xxx

Runtime deletion tears down the underlying sprite or pod and cascades to its hosted agents. Confirm the runtime ID, back up important agents, and inspect mf runtime get before deleting. The command executes immediately without a confirmation prompt:

mf runtime delete art_xxx

--json is available for automation.

Manage hosted framework agents

Multi-agent runtimes can host additional framework agents:

mf runtime agents list art_xxx
mf runtime agents add art_xxx --name reviewer --model gpt-5.6
mf runtime agents add art_xxx --name clone --clone-from agt_source
mf runtime agents remove agt_xxx --yes

The remove command takes an agent ID, not a runtime ID. Coding agents can also set --workspace <path>. Removal is irreversible and requires the explicit --yes option.

Control UI

Supported runtimes can expose a control UI sidecar:

mf runtime control-ui enable art_xxx
mf runtime control-ui get-url art_xxx
mf runtime control-ui disable art_xxx

Treat the returned URL as temporary access information. Do not publish it in logs or public tickets.

Hermes dashboard

Hermes runtimes have a separate dashboard lifecycle:

mf runtime dashboard enable art_xxx
mf runtime dashboard disable art_xxx

These commands are Hermes-only; they fail for incompatible runtime/framework combinations.
