## Description

Deploy open models or custom weights from Model Garden to Agent Platform endpoints, check the status of an in-progress deployment operation, or clean up resources by undeploying models and deleting endpoints. Use when asked to actively deploy a model, list the Model Garden CATALOG of available models, check if a specific model is deployable (`gcloud ai model-garden models list-deployment-config`), query deployment cost, troubleshoot deployment errors (like quota limits), or undeploy/clean up endpoints. Also use when copying and deploying a 1P Tuned Model. Don't use for pure listing/discovery questions of the form "is X deployed?", "list my endpoints", or "which regions have models running?", for those use `agent-platform-endpoint-management`. Don't use for running model evaluations (use `agent-platform-eval-flywheel` skill).

# Agent Platform Model Garden Deploy Skill

This skill provides instructions for deploying Open Models from Agent Platform
Model Garden to endpoints, and subsequently undeploying them to clean up
resources.

## 1P Tuned Model Copy & Deployment

If you need to copy a **1P (First-Party) Tuned Model** from a source project to
a destination region or project and deploy it to a newly created endpoint, refer
to the
[1P Tuned Model Copy & Deployment Guide](references/copy_deploy_guide.md).

## Safety & Confirmation Tiers (CRITICAL)

Before executing any commands on behalf of the user, you MUST adhere to the
following safety tiers based on the action requested:

1.  **Tier R: Read-only (`list`, `describe`, `list-deployment-config`)**
    *   **Rule**: No confirmation needed. You may execute these commands
        immediately to gather information for the user.
2.  **Tier M: Mutating & Reversible (`deploy`, `undeploy-model`)**
    *   **Rule**: This requires explicit user confirmation. You MUST present a
        clear dry-run confirmation card containing:
