run-pipeline

run-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from harness/harness-ai. It costs 120 tokens per session (1,450 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of run-pipeline, Apache-2.0.

A Harness pipeline runner for finding, starting, and monitoring automated builds or deployments through MCP. It can also handle required approvals, retries, and stopping runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a pipeline, provide its runtime inputs, start a build or deployment, monitor progress, respond to approvals, retry failures, or abort a stuck run.
Why use it?
It brings pipeline execution and status checks into the agent’s workflow instead of requiring repeated manual work in Harness.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

run-pipeline scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Run Pipeline

Execute and monitor Harness pipeline runs via MCP.

Instructions

Step 1: Find the Pipeline

Call MCP tool: harness_search
Parameters:
  query: "<user's pipeline name or keyword>"
  resource_types: ["pipeline"]
  compact: true

Or list all pipelines in a project:

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "pipeline"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  search_term: "<optional filter>"

Step 2: Get Pipeline Details

Call MCP tool: harness_get
Parameters:
  resource_type: "pipeline"
  resource_id: "<pipeline_identifier>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Extract from response:

  • Required runtime inputs (<+input> fields)
  • Pipeline variables with types and defaults
  • Stage structure and deployment targets

Step 3: Check Available Input Sets

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "input_set"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Input sets provide pre-configured values that can be used or overridden.

Step 4: Execute the Pipeline

Call MCP tool: harness_execute
Parameters:
  resource_type: "pipeline"
  action: "run"
  resource_id: "<pipeline_identifier>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Step 5: Monitor Execution

Call MCP tool: harness_get
Parameters:
  resource_type: "execution"
  resource_id: "<execution_id>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Execution statuses: Running, Success, Failed, Aborted, Waiting (approval/input), Expired

Step 6: Handle Approvals

If execution is waiting for approval:

Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "approval_instance"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Then approve or reject:

Call MCP tool: harness_execute
Parameters:
  resource_type: "approval_instance"
  action: "approve"  # or "reject"
  resource_id: "<approval_id>"

Safety: Production Deployments

CRITICAL: Before executing pipelines targeting production:
