Trust breakdown (6 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

MCP tools — 156 exposed · ~28,046 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
system_version ~26

Return Docker server version information. returns: dict - Version information from the Docker daemon

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

volume_create ~276

Create a volume managed by Docker. Named volumes persist after their containers stop or are removed; use them for databases, uploads, or any data that must outlive a container. Anonymous volumes (no `name`) are only removed automatically when the container was started with `--rm` or removed with `docker rm -v`; otherwise they accumulate and must be pruned manually. Common `driver_opts` for the default `local` driver: bind-mount an existing host path with `{"type": "none", "device": "/host/path", "o": "bind"}`, or mount an NFS share with `{"type": "nfs", "device": "server:/export", "o": "addr=server,rw"}`. Third-party drivers (e.g. `rexray`, `convoy`) accept their own option keys. args: name - Volume name; auto-generated if omitted (creates an anonymous volume) driver - Volume driver to use (default: "local") driver_opts - Driver-specific options dict labels - Labels to set on the volume returns: dict - The created volume's attrs

volume_inspect ~40

Get a volume by name. args: name - The volume name returns: dict - The volume's attrs

NameTypeReqDescription
namestringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

volume_list ~91

List volumes. args: filters - Filter by attributes (e.g. dangling, name, label) managed_only - Only return volumes created by this MCP server (filters on the docker-mcp-server.managed label); combines with any `filters` given returns: list - A list of volume attrs dicts

NameTypeReqDescription
filtersobject
managed_onlyboolean

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

volume_prune ~160

Remove volumes not referenced by any container, running or stopped. A volume used by even one stopped container is not "unused" and survives the prune — remove the container first (or use `container_prune`, then this) to reclaim its volumes. Valid filter keys: `label` (key or key=value), `all` ("true" as a string — without it only anonymous volumes are eligible, matching `docker volume prune`'s default). Use `volume_list` first to see what currently exists. args: filters - Narrow which unused volumes to remove; omit to remove all anonymous ones returns: dict - {"VolumesDeleted": [...], "SpaceReclaimed": <bytes>}

NameTypeReqDescription
filtersobject

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

volume_remove ~129

Remove a single volume by name. Fails if any container, running or stopped, still references the volume — remove or recreate those containers first, or pass `force=True` to remove it anyway (the containers keep their reference but lose the underlying data). For bulk cleanup of volumes with no container references at all, use `volume_prune` instead. args: name - Volume name to remove force - Remove even if a container still references the volume returns: bool - True after removal
