Agent Integration

CometAPI CLI is designed to be agent-friendly:

• All data commands support --json for structured, machine-readable output
• Deterministic exit codes (0=success, 64=config missing, 77=auth error, 69=service unavailable)
• Errors on stderr, data on stdout
• See SKILL.md for the full agent skill definition

Development

git clone https://github.com/CometAPI/cometapi-cli.git
cd cometapi-cli
uv sync --extra dev

uv run pytest -v              # tests
uv run ruff check src/ tests/ # lint
uv run cometapi --version     # verify

Without uv (pip)

git clone https://github.com/CometAPI/cometapi-cli.git
cd cometapi-cli
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -v

Security

• API keys and access tokens are never logged or displayed in full — only the last 4 characters are shown
• Config files are stored with restrictive permissions (0600)
• Credentials should never be committed to version control
• Create credentials at: API Key · Access Token
• Disclaimer: You are responsible for all usage and charges incurred with your API keys

Troubleshooting

Error	Solution
API key not configured	Run cometapi init or set COMETAPI_KEY env var
Connection failed	Run cometapi doctor to diagnose connectivity
Access token not configured	Only needed for account/stats commands — run cometapi init to add one
