Apify Deploy Integration

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Deploying an Actor to the platform
• Integrating Actor results into a web app (Next.js
• Wiring webhooks
• Scheduling scraping pipelines

Example prompts

• “deploy apify actor”
• “apify Vercel integration”
• “apify production deploy”
• “/apify-deploy-integration”

Requirements

• Docker
• A credential in APIFY_TOKEN
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(apify:*), Bash(npm:*), Bash(vercel:*), Bash(gcloud:*)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Deploy the Actor to the platform
2. 2Trigger the Actor from your app
3. 3Choose an integration pattern

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash(apify:*)
  • Bash(npm:*)
  • Bash(vercel:*)
  • Bash(gcloud:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript and bash).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • docs.apify.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • APIFY_TOKEN

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Apify Deploy Integration loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 456 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~98

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.4k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~4.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
