Trigger Action Brief Generation Programmatically
You can now request a command-center brief for a specific action without going through the web app. DevTune now supports manual brief generation from both the public REST API and the MCP server.
REST API
Use POST /api/v2/projects/{projectId}/actions/{actionId}/brief to queue or reuse brief generation for a project action.
What the Endpoint Returns
readywhen the brief already exists and can be used immediatelyqueuedwhen generation has been queued in the backgroundgeneratingwhen a generation job is already in progress
Required Scope
API keys must include the actions.write scope to call the new mutation endpoint.
MCP Server
The public MCP server now includes a new devtune_generate_action_brief tool. Give it an actionId and DevTune will return the same generation state you get from the REST API.
Typical Use Cases
- Trigger an execution brief for a recommended action from an AI assistant
- Kick off brief generation from an internal automation or agent workflow
- Check whether a brief is already ready before opening it in a downstream tool
Read + Write Flow
You can combine the new mutation with the existing devtune_get_action_brief tool or GET /api/v2/projects/{projectId}/actions/{actionId}/brief endpoint to trigger generation first and then read back the stored brief once it is ready.
