Argo CD + OrchestrAI

Catalog exported 2026-09-02 · Argo CD website

Sync, roll back, and inspect Argo CD applications from chat, with confirmation before every sync.

OrchestrAI exposes 35 Argo CD operations: 11 are low-risk (read-only or low-impact), 21 create or modify resources and run only after you confirm the plan, and 3 are destructive and require a typed risk phrase. 24 of them also carry a step-level approval gate.

What teams use it for

SRE teams ask OrchestrAI to check whether an Argo CD application is out of sync, review its sync history, and then sync or roll back to a known revision. Creating and syncing an application are medium risk, rolling back and adding a cluster are high, and deleting an application is critical with a typed risk phrase required. Logging in to an Argo CD server is also gated as high. There is no operation for managing Argo CD projects, repositories, or RBAC, so configure those through the CLI or UI.

Risk tiers come from the catalog: low is read-only or low-impact, medium creates resources and is reversible, high modifies existing resources, destructive may lose data. Every plan that creates or changes resources is shown with its cost estimate and waits for your confirmation. Operations marked with a step-level approval pause again on their own step. Destructive operations require a typed risk phrase.

What you connect

A Argo CD credential (stored as argocd, kubernetes, velero). Connected-service tokens are envelope-encrypted with a per-record key wrapped by a cloud KMS.

Prompts that work

  • Is the payments-api app in Argo CD in sync with main? Show the last three sync events
  • Roll back the checkout-frontend application to revision 41
  • Create an Argo CD application called billing-worker from the k8s/billing path in our platform repo, targeting the prod cluster

Before anything runs

Every mutation shows its plan, cost estimate, and blast radius, then waits for your confirmation. Destructive operations require a typed risk phrase. Credentials are minted per run through OIDC federation and discarded afterward; nothing you create here is invisible later, because every resource lands in the desired-state ledger where drift is detected and can be converged. Details on the security page.

Frequently asked questions

Can OrchestrAI roll back an Argo CD application?
Yes. Rollback to a previous revision is a high-risk operation because it changes the running deployment, so OrchestrAI shows the target revision and waits for your confirmation.
What happens if I ask OrchestrAI to delete an Argo CD app?
Application deletion is classified as critical. It waits for confirmation and requires you to type a risk phrase, since it can remove the deployed workload.
How does OrchestrAI authenticate to Argo CD?
You add a Argo CD credential once in the connections screen. It is envelope-encrypted with a per-record key wrapped by a cloud KMS and is only decrypted inside the run that needs it.
