All in-game commands
Every team-chat command Rust Pulse responds to, grouped by category. Default prefix is `!`.
The bot listens on your paired server's Rust+ chat socket. Anyone in your in-game team can type these commands in team chat and the bot replies in team chat. Replies go only to your team — global chat is never touched.
Default prefix is !. You can change it (or pick a different character like . or /) in dashboard Settings.
On top of the built-ins, every Smart Switch you wire up can be given its own command (e.g. !base flips your base lights). See Custom switch commands.

Disabling commands
Any built-in can be disabled per-server from dashboard Settings → Commands. Disabled commands return nothing in team chat — useful if you only want a subset of the bot's behaviour active during a wipe.
