Manage Freeze Windows

Create and toggle Harness deployment freeze windows via MCP. A freeze window blocks pipeline executions within a time window so you can enforce change freezes for releases, holidays, or maintenance.

MCP Tools Used

harness_schemafreeze_windowExact JSON Schema for the create / update body

Both resources are project-scoped — every call needs org_id and project_id.

Freeze Window YAML

Create/update bodies take a raw freeze YAML string passed as body: { yaml: "<yaml string>" }. The MCP server forwards it to the Harness API with Content-Type: application/yaml.

freeze:
  name: Q4 Release Freeze
  identifier: q4_release_freeze
  entityConfigs:
    - name: All Services
      entities:
        - type: Service
          filterType: All
        - type: Environment
          filterType: All
        - type: EnvType
          filterType: All
        - type: Org
          filterType: All
        - type: Project
          filterType: All
  status: Enabled                     # Enabled | Disabled
  description: "Change freeze for Q4 GA release"
  windows:
    - timeZone: America/Los_Angeles
      startTime: 2026-12-20 00:00 AM
      duration: 14d                   # e.g. 2h, 3d, 14d, 4w
      recurrence:
        type: Yearly                  # Daily | Weekly | Monthly | Yearly (optional)
  notificationRules: []

Use harness_schema(resource_type="freeze_window") if you want the authoritative field list. Key rules:

  • identifier matches ^[a-zA-Z_][0-9a-zA-Z_]{0,127}$.
  • entityConfigs is required and must match at least one deployment scope.
  • windows[].duration accepts h, d, w suffixes (no seconds).
  • windows[].startTime format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm AM|PM in the given timeZone.

Instructions

Step 1: List existing freeze windows
Call MCP tool: harness_list
Parameters:
  resource_type: "freeze_window"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  freeze_status: "Enabled"     # optional: Enabled | Disabled
  search_term: "release"       # optional: keyword filter
  start_time: 1735689600000    # optional: epoch ms lower bound
  end_time: 1738368000000      # optional: epoch ms upper bound
Step 2: Get a freeze window by identifier
Call MCP tool: harness_get
Parameters:
  resource_type: "freeze_window"
  resource_id: "<freeze_identifier>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
Step 3: Create a freeze window
Call MCP tool: harness_create
Parameters:
  resource_type: "freeze_window"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  body:
    yaml: |
      freeze:
        name: Holiday Freeze
        identifier: holiday_freeze
        entityConfigs:
          - name: All Services
            entities:
              - type: Service
                filterType: All
              - type: Environment
                filterType: All
              - type: EnvType
                filterType: All
        status: Enabled
        windows:
          - timeZone: America/Los_Angeles
            startTime: 2026-12-22 06:00 PM
            duration: 10d
Step 4: Update a freeze window

harness_update performs a full replace of the YAML — include every field you want to keep.

Call MCP tool: harness_update
Parameters:
  resource_type: "freeze_window"
  resource_id: "<freeze_identifier>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  body:
    yaml: "<full updated freeze YAML>"
Step 5: Toggle status for one or many freeze windows
Call MCP tool: harness_execute
Parameters:
  resource_type: "freeze_window"
  action: "toggle_status"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  status: "Enabled"                    # Enabled | Disabled
  body:
    freeze_ids: ["holiday_freeze", "q4_release_freeze"]

Pass an array of identifiers — toggle works in bulk. Use this instead of editing the YAML when you just need to flip enabled/disabled.

Step 6: Delete a freeze window
Call MCP tool: harness_delete
Parameters:
  resource_type: "freeze_window"
  resource_id: "<freeze_identifier>"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
Step 7: Read the project global freeze
Call MCP tool: harness_get
Parameters:
  resource_type: "global_freeze"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"

Returns { status: "Enabled" | "Disabled", ... }. The global freeze is a singleton — there is exactly one per project scope, no resource_id needed.

Step 8: Enable or disable the global freeze
Call MCP tool: harness_execute
Parameters:
  resource_type: "global_freeze"
  action: "manage"
  org_id: "<organization>"
  project_id: "<project>"
  body:
    yaml: |
      freeze:
        name: Project Global Freeze
        identifier: _global_
        status: Enabled              # Enabled | Disabled
        entityConfigs:
          - name: All
            entities:
              - type: Service
                filterType: All
              - type: Environment
                filterType: All
              - type: EnvType
                filterType: All
        windows:
          - timeZone: UTC
            startTime: 2026-12-22 00:00 AM
            duration: 14d

The global freeze takes effect immediately when status: Enabled — pipelines at the project scope will start being blocked.

Examples

Create a two-week holiday freeze
/manage-freeze-windows
Create a holiday freeze window called "Winter 2026 Shutdown" in org default, project payments,
covering all services and environments, from 2026-12-22 6pm PT for 14 days.
Check what's currently blocking deployments
/manage-freeze-windows
List every Enabled freeze window in project "payments" and also show me whether the project global
freeze is on.
Bulk-disable all freezes for a hotfix
/manage-freeze-windows
Disable all Enabled freeze windows in project "payments" temporarily so I can ship a hotfix.
Turn on the project global freeze
/manage-freeze-windows
Enable the global freeze for project "payments" right now with a 4-hour duration in UTC —
we're running incident response.
Audit scheduled freezes for a release
/manage-freeze-windows
Show me every freeze window in project "release-ops" whose start_time is in the next 30 days.

Performance Notes

  • Use harness_schema(resource_type="freeze_window") to get the authoritative body schema before drafting new YAML — field names are case-sensitive and several fields (entityConfigs, windows, notificationRules) are required.
  • Prefer toggle_status over update when you only want to flip enabled/disabled — it avoids re-sending the full YAML and works in bulk.
  • Freeze windows are project-scoped — a window in project A does not affect project B. To freeze the whole org, create a freeze window in every project (or use global_freeze per project).
  • global_freeze is a singleton per project — there is no list/create/delete. harness_get reads it, harness_execute(action="manage") flips it on or off via YAML.
  • Time zones matter — timeZone is an IANA name (e.g. America/Los_Angeles, Europe/Berlin), not an offset. The server interprets startTime in that zone.
  • Overlapping windows compound — Harness evaluates every Enabled freeze window; if any match, the deployment is blocked. Disable rather than delete if you may re-enable later.

Troubleshooting

body must include yaml (freeze YAML string with 'freeze:' root)

You passed the body as a plain YAML string or JSON object — the bodyBuilder expects the outer shape body: { yaml: "<yaml string>" }. Wrap your YAML string in a yaml key.

INVALID_REQUEST on create
  • Check that entityConfigs is present and non-empty. entityConfigs[].entities must include at least Service and Environment (or EnvType) filters.
  • Verify identifier matches ^[a-zA-Z_][0-9a-zA-Z_]{0,127}$ — hyphens and dots are not allowed in identifiers.
  • duration values use suffixes (2h, 3d, 14d, 4w) — raw numbers without a suffix are rejected.
DUPLICATE_IDENTIFIER

A freeze window with that identifier already exists at the same project scope. Either harness_update the existing one or pick a new identifier.

Toggle fails with "body must include freeze_ids"

toggle_status expects body.freeze_ids as an array of strings, even for a single window. Pass body: { freeze_ids: ["my_freeze"] }, not body: "my_freeze" or resource_id: "my_freeze".

Deployments still run during an Enabled freeze
  • Confirm the freeze status is Enabled and not Disabled — harness_get will show the current status.
  • Check the windows[].startTime and duration — if the current time is outside the window, the freeze is scheduled but not active.
  • Verify entityConfigs actually cover the service/environment you're deploying to — a freeze with Service: filterType: NotEquals / entityRefs: [payments] will not block payments.
  • Global project freeze and named freeze windows are independent — either one being Disabled is enough to let a deployment through if that's the only one matching.
Can't delete a freeze window

Active (currently firing) freeze windows cannot be deleted in some account tiers — Disabled them first via toggle_status then harness_delete.

# Manage Freeze Windows

Create and toggle Harness deployment freeze windows via MCP. A freeze window blocks pipeline executions within a time window so you can enforce change freezes for releases, holidays, or maintenance.

## MCP Tools Used

| Tool | Resource Type | Purpose |
|------|---------------|---------|
| `harness_list` | `freeze_window` | List project freeze windows, filter by status / time / keyword |
| `harness_get` | `freeze_window` | Get a single freeze window by identifier |
| `harness_create` | `freeze_window` | Create a freeze window from YAML |
| `harness_update` | `freeze_window` | Replace an existing freeze window's YAML definition |
| `harness_delete` | `freeze_window` | Delete a freeze window |
| `harness_execute` (action: `toggle_status`) | `freeze_window` | Enable / disable one or more freeze windows in bulk |
| `harness_get` | `global_freeze` | Get the current project-level global freeze state |
| `harness_execute` (action: `manage`) | `global_freeze` | Enable or disable the project global freeze from YAML |
| `harness_schema` | `freeze_window` | Exact JSON Schema for the `create` / `update` body |

Both resources are **project-scoped** — every call needs `org_id` and `project_id`.

## Freeze Window YAML

Create/update bodies take a **raw freeze YAML string** passed as `body: { yaml: "<yaml string>" }`. The MCP server forwards it to the Harness API with `Content-Type: application/yaml`.

```yaml
freeze:
  name: Q4 Release Freeze
  identifier: q4_release_freeze
  entityConfigs:
    - name: All Services
      entities:
        - type: Service
          filterType: All
        - type: Environment
          filterType: All
        - type: EnvType
          filterType: All
        - type: Org
          filterType: All
        - type: Project
          filterType: All
  status: Enabled                     # Enabled | Disabled
  description: "Change freeze for Q4 GA release"
  windows:
    - timeZone: America/Los_Angeles
      startTime: 2026-12-20 00:00 AM
      duration: 14d                   # e.g. 2h, 3d, 14d, 4w
      recurrence:
        type: Yearly                  # Daily | Weekly | Monthly | Yearly (optional)
  notificationRules: []
```

Use `harness_schema(resource_type="freeze_window")` if you want the authoritative field list. Key rules:
- `identifier` matches `^[a-zA-Z_][0-9a-zA-Z_]{0,127}$`.
- `entityConfigs` is required and must match at least one deployment scope.
- `windows[].duration` accepts `h`, `d`, `w` suffixes (no seconds).
- `windows[].startTime` format: `YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm AM|PM` in the given `timeZone`.

```
Call MCP tool: harness_execute
Parameters:
  resource_type: "global_freeze"
  action: "manage"

                filterType: All
              - type: EnvType
                filterType: All
        windows:
          - timeZone: UTC
            startTime: 2026-12-22 00:00 AM
            duration: 14d

Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Manage Harness deployment freeze windows via MCP. Create, list, get, update, and delete project-level freeze windows; toggle them Enabled/Disabled; and get or enable/disable the project-level global freeze. Use when asked about freeze windows, deployment freezes, change freezes, release blackouts, maintenance windows, holiday freezes, or to pause deployments. Trigger phrases: freeze window, deployment freeze, change freeze, release blackout, maintenance window, holiday freeze, pause deployments, block pipeline execution, global freeze. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"harness-manage-freeze-windows","task":"Install manage-freeze-windows","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

  1. 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
  2. 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
  3. 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
