# Operations: summer apps
> Team tools that agents build inside Summer Studio. For each operation: what it does, whether it asks you first, its inputs and an example call.
Team tools that agents build inside Summer Studio. 23 operations. How to call them, and what the answers mean: [Operations reference](/mcp/operations).
Generated from the `summer-engine` npm package `4.2.0`: its public operation catalog (`registry/operations/public-catalog.json`) and its engine and local operations. If something here is wrong, the operation's definition is wrong.
| Operation | What it does | Asks you first |
| - | - | - |
| [`apps.add_starter`](#add_starter) | Add one of Summer's starter apps (pick-one, asset-tracker, balance-table, live-ops) to a team as a kept app; a team that has it already gets its copy back. | Not by default |
| [`apps.call`](#call) | Run one of a Summer App's own agent tools in the person's open app, with their rights; waits up to 60 seconds. | Not by default |
| [`apps.create`](#create) | Create a new scratch Summer App and open it in the person's Studio tab. | Not by default |
| [`apps.delete`](#delete) | Ask the person to delete a Summer App: it leaves the team's Apps for everyone, with its data. | Yes, by default |
| [`apps.dock`](#dock) | Dock a Summer App as a panel in the running Summer Engine editor, close it, or list docked apps. | Not by default |
| [`apps.duplicate`](#duplicate) | Copy a Summer App and its live version into a new scratch app, in the same team or another of the person's teams. | Not by default |
| [`apps.events`](#events) | Wait up to timeoutSeconds (at most 50) for what a Summer App sends its agent: agent events, errors in the app, people's feedback, agent tool calls. | Never |
| [`apps.feedback`](#feedback) | Send the person's feedback on a Summer App to its makers: thumbs up or down and a note. | Not by default |
| [`apps.get`](#get) | Read one Summer App before changing it: its summary and manifest, its current version's files (or layout) and a summary of its shared data collections. | Never |
| [`apps.guide`](#guide) | Read the guide to building a Summer App (a tool for the person's team inside Studio): start with overview, then the section the app needs (examples, sdk, manifest, kit, design, layout, types). | Never |
| [`apps.list`](#list) | List the Summer Apps in the person's workspaces: app id, name, purpose, folder, status (scratch, kept, archived), version and format. | Never |
| [`apps.page`](#page) | Read the fields and buttons a Summer App declared while it is open in the person's Studio tab or editor dock. | Never |
| [`apps.publish`](#publish) | Publish a new version of a Summer App for the person's team: files with index.html (code apps) or a layout (layout apps), plus the manifest. | Not by default |
| [`apps.publish_folder`](#publish_folder) | Publish a new version of a Summer App from a local folder, files or a layout; the person's Studio tab boots it. | Not by default |
| [`apps.read_data`](#read_data) | Read a Summer App's shared data with no app open: its records (one collection or all, paged) and the record shape each collection declares. | Never |
| [`apps.report_gap`](#report_gap) | Tell Summer about something a Summer App needed that the SDK cannot do yet (for example "read Steam reviews"), so it can be built for everyone. | Not by default |
| [`apps.rollback`](#rollback) | Ask the owner to make an older version of a Summer App the live one everyone on the team runs (newer versions stay in Versions). | Not by default |
| [`apps.screenshot`](#screenshot) | See a Summer App without the person: renders it headless with their data, read-only, and returns the picture plus what to fix (console lines, errors, refused calls, the fields and tools it declared). | Never |
| [`apps.tools`](#tools) | The agent tools a Summer App declares (name, description, input JSON Schema) and its data collections (record fields and types). | Never |
| [`apps.update`](#update) | Rename a Summer App, change its purpose or folder, set its status (kept, archived, scratch) or pin it to the person's sidebar. | Not by default |
| [`apps.update_starter`](#update_starter) | Ask the owner to make the newest starter the live version of a starter app the team changed (the team's versions stay in Versions). | Not by default |
| [`apps.use_page`](#use_page) | Fill fields and press one button a Summer App declared, while it is open in the person's Studio tab or editor dock. | Not by default |
| [`apps.write_data`](#write_data) | Write a Summer App's shared data in one revision, with no app open: put, patch (null removes a key) or remove records; ifRevision applies one only if the record is still at that revision. | Not by default |

### write\_data
`apps.write_data`: **Change an app's data**
Write a Summer App's shared data in one revision, with no app open: put, patch (null removes a key) or remove records; ifRevision applies one only if the record is still at that revision. Everyone in the app sees it live. Next: apps.read\_data.
