Provision a hosted target, pick the right endpoint per target type, tear down to stop billing, and interpret transient vs fatal errors. Load this whenever the user wants to provision/attack a bundled target (ml-extraction-*, *-mesh) or asks about environments, sandboxes, teardown, or billing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Provisioning and Lifecycle How to provision a hosted target, run against the right endpoint, and tear it down cleanly. The tool layer already handles resolution, endpoint selection, retries, and teardown - your job is to use the tool (never the CLI) and interpret its output correctly. ## 1. Provisioning decision tree - User names a bundled/hosted task (`finops-mesh`, `ml-extraction-fraud-tabular`, `ml-extraction-mnist-image`, `ml-extraction-imdb-text`) -> call `provision_environment` with the BARE name. - User gives an HTTP URL -> skip provisioning; go straight to `generate_agentic_attack` / `generate_atlas_attack`. - NEVER run `dreadnode env ...` in a shell, and NEVER guess a `provision`/`create` subcommand. `provision_environment` is the only supported path and it resolves the catalog for you. ## 2. Task-ref resolution A bare name resolves server-side to a task in your org OR any public task, so bundled public targets (`ml-extraction-*`, `*-mesh`) work by bare name with no extra qualification. - Prefer the BARE name (`ml-extraction-fraud-tabular`). It resolves to the public catalog automatically. …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/provisioning-and-lifecycle@sha256:2ade20ba8c57be2fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.172e429, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
