What DigitalOcean does in ChatGPT
The DigitalOcean plugin does one job: it creates a DigitalOcean droplet and sets it up as a remote workspace for Codex. A droplet is DigitalOcean's name for a virtual server in the cloud, so this gives Codex a machine of its own to work on.
It comes with a single skill, called provision-droplet, and the listing gives one example request, asking it to provision a droplet for Codex. The listing does not describe other DigitalOcean tasks, such as managing databases, storage or servers you already have running in your account.
Because it creates a new server in your DigitalOcean account, it can add to your bill there. Check the size and region it plans to use before you let it go ahead, and remove the droplet in DigitalOcean once you no longer need the workspace, so it stops costing you money.
