# EGRESS_NEEDS_KEEP

**What it means.** The app's home page calls a service that an app nobody has kept yet cannot reach.

**What to do.** Ask the person to keep the app: open its address and sign in. A kept app can reach any service. Then deploy again. Nothing in the code needs to change.

- HTTP status: 403
- Retryable after applying the fix: no

Every failure from the CLI or an MCP tool has this shape:

```json
{
  "ok": false,
  "code": "EGRESS_NEEDS_KEEP",
  "message": "The app's home page calls a service that an app nobody has kept yet cannot reach.",
  "fix": "Ask the person to keep the app: open its address and sign in. A kept app can reach any service. Then deploy again. Nothing in the code needs to change.",
  "file": "<where to edit, when known>",
  "retryable": false,
  "docs": "https://docs.uarpie.app/errors/EGRESS_NEEDS_KEEP"
}
```

Apply `fix` (edit `file` when it is given), then run the same command again.
