List available hosting plans with pricing and resources. No authentication needed. Args: track: Filter by plan track. Valid values: "single_site", "agency". ⚠ The track is not the site count — most plans on BOTH tracks include several sites (site_starter 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12). Read `max_sites` on the plan, and use add_site() to fill a slot. Leave empty to list all tracks. include_deprecated: Include deprecated plans (default: false) Returns: [{"slug": "site_starter", "name": "Starter", "track": "single_site", "hosting_type": "shared", "price": {"monthly": 5, "annual": 2, "currency": "CAD"}, "resources": null, "features": {"max_sites": 1, "ai_modules": [...], "ai_agents": [], "free_domain_annual": false}}, ...]

List ports published from this site's container to the public internet. These are iptables DNAT rules on the node, NOT the IP allow/deny rules that add_firewall_rule manages — those two tools do unrelated things and neither substitutes for the other.

Args: slug: Site identifier action: "create" or "delete" record_type: "A", "AAAA", "CNAME", "MX", "TXT", or "SRV" subdomain: Subdomain part (e.g. "www", "mail").

Examples: A: "1.2.3.4", CNAME: "example.com", MX: "mail.example.com", TXT: "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all" The DNS provider manages the effective TTL and does not expose a per-record value through this service.

Reboot a running compute instance. Requires: API key with write scope.

Recover exactly one absent database from a completed backup. The operation refuses an existing database and can never select ``all``. It returns immediately; poll ``get_database_recovery`` with its durable ID. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier backup_id: UUID of a completed backup database: One database name, never ``all``

Start a selected-file recovery and return its durable ID immediately. Existing destination paths are never replaced. The operation is asynchronous; poll ``get_file_recovery`` with the returned ID. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier backup_id: UUID of a completed backup paths: One or more absolute paths from that backup Returns: {"id": "uuid", "backup_id": "uuid", "status": "running", "paths": ["/absolute/path"], ...}

Register a new domain with WHOIS contact info and Stripe billing. First request a quote (quote_only=True), present registration_cad, privacy_cad, total_cad, term and privacy choice, and obtain customer consent. Then repeat the same input with quote_only=False and the quote_token. Never automatically accept a replacement token after a price change. Included annual registration covers registration only; selected privacy uses the same BoC daily USD/CAD rate, rounded to CAD cents, no markup. Registration/renewal convert their actual operation-specific USD cost first, then apply 10% and round up to CAD .95. Rates older than four days refuse. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: whois_privacy: Explicit privacy choice; defaults selected only for supported paid TLDs. quote_only: True returns a quote without registration or payment. quote_token: Signed five-minute quote accepted by the customer. domain: Full domain name (e.g. "example.ca", "mybusiness.com") first_name: Registrant first name last_name: Registrant last name email: Registrant email address phone: Phone number in E.164 format: "+1.5145551234" address1: Street address (e.g. "123 Rue Principale") city: City (e.g. "Montreal") state: Province/state code (e.g. "QC", "ON", "BC") postal_code: Postal/ZIP code (e.g. "H2X 1Y4") country: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (default: "CA") period: Registration period in years (1–10, default: 1) usage_mode: What the domain points at. "site" (default) links it to the billing subscription's site with automatic DNS + Nginx + SSL. "external_ns" delegates it to `nameservers` — the domain is registered here but hosted elsewhere; we manage no DNS. "dns_only" keeps it on our DNS with no site behind it. "forward" redirects visitors to `forward_url`. nameservers: Ordered list of 2–6 nameserver hostnames. Required when…

Remove an IP firewall rule and reload Nginx. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier ip: IP address or CIDR to remove (must match exactly) Returns: {"removed": true, "ip": "1.2.3.4"}

Add a message to an existing support ticket. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: ticket_id: Ticket UUID message: Reply text Returns: {"id", "status", ...}

Request an API key for a site YOU ARE RUNNING ON (challenge-response). ⚠ ONLY USE THIS IF YOU ARE EXECUTING INSIDE THAT SITE'S OWN CONTAINER. If you bought or ordered the site from somewhere else, this is the wrong tool: it returns "pending" and the pending never resolves, because the proof it asks for is a file you cannot reach. Use `get_checkout_status(checkout_id)` on the checkout that paid for the site — that hands over the site-scoped key over plain HTTP with no container access. The refusal and the pending response both name it under `alternative` when one is available. Two-step verification flow: 1. A claim token is written into that site's container, at the per-site path the response gives you in `claim_path` (mode 600, owner admin — readable only from on the container). Do not hardcode the path. 2. Read that file and call claim_api_key(token) within 1 hour Refused for sites on SHARED containers. One container there serves up to 40 customers behind one agent, so reading a file proves you are on the machine, not which customer you are — the token would authenticate the wrong thing. No authentication needed — the proof is reading the file from the container. Args: site_slug: The site identifier (your BorealHost site slug) Returns: {"status": "pending", "site_slug": "my-site", "expires_in_seconds": 3600, "claim_path": "/home/admin/.borealhost/.claim_token_my-site", "requires_container_access": true, "instructions": "Read the claim token and call claim_api_key()...", "alternative": {"checkout_id": "...", "command": "bh checkout status ..."}} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Unknown site slug, no active subscription, shared container, or a key already exists (rotate it, never revoke it to reach this route). Carries `alternative` when another route works. RATE_LIMITED: Too many pending claim tokens

Request OpenSRS verification email to its existing owner contact. Requires a write-scope API key and an owned registered/transferred domain. Call only when the customer requests a resend. No recipient override. Returns domain, send_acknowledged, inbox_delivery_confirmed (always false), registrant_verified, and the refreshed registrant_verification snapshot. A send acknowledgement confirms neither inbox delivery nor verification; status can remain unknown if the subsequent status refresh fails. PROVIDER_REFUSED (502) means no email should be assumed sent. CONFLICT (409) means another resend is in progress; RATE_LIMITED (429) has Retry-After 3600. Never automatically retry a refused, busy or throttled resend.

Reset password and terminate IMAP/POP sessions. Requires email:signon.

Reset a mailbox password (generated when omitted, returned ONCE). Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"email", "password", "message"}

Args: slug: Site identifier snapshot_id: UUID of the snapshot to rollback to Returns: {"success": true, "message": "Rolled back to snapshot ..."} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Snapshot not found or not in completed state
