icmd-python

icmd-python is the supported Python SDK and command-line client for licensed QuesTek customers automating the ICMD® 2.0 API. It requires Python 3.12+ and access to an ICMD® tenant — a hostname and an account, both supplied by QuesTek. Without them the package installs but has nothing to talk to.

It covers sign-in and encrypted credential storage, owner-group selection, the Suite and Studio resources (databases, models, datasets, jobs, results), model-contract retrieval and job-input composition, and browser links back into the web app.

Installation

Install into your environment as a library:

pip install icmd-python

For the standalone icmd CLI only:

uv tool install icmd-python

uv tool install puts the entry point on your PATH in its own isolated environment — but it does not make icmd importable, so it does not cover the Python usage below.

Quick Start

Python

from icmd import ICMD

client = ICMD("your-tenant.icmd.ai")

# Every list endpoint returns a pagination envelope; the rows are under "data".
jobs = client.studio.jobs.list(page_size=1)["data"]

if jobs:
    # Where to look at one in the browser. Never build this URL by hand — the app
    # lives under /app and its segments do not match the API paths.
    print(client.link_for("job", jobs[0]["uuid"]))

For scripts and CI/CD (no interactive prompts):

client = ICMD("your-tenant.icmd.ai", developer_token="your-api-token", owner_group="my-team")

CLI

icmd login --domain your-tenant.icmd.ai
icmd studio jobs list --domain your-tenant.icmd.ai --group my-team
icmd studio jobs get 8f3e6c1a-0b2d-4e5f-9a7b-1c2d3e4f5a6b --domain your-tenant.icmd.ai
# the browser link for it
icmd link build job 8f3e6c1a-0b2d-4e5f-9a7b-1c2d3e4f5a6b --domain your-tenant.icmd.ai

Replace your-tenant.icmd.ai with the hostname QuesTek gave you. Setting ICMD_DOMAIN and ICMD_GROUP in your environment saves repeating them on every command.

Commands emit JSON except studio jobs log --follow, which streams raw log text; diagnostics and errors go to stderr.

What is in the package

• ICMD — the client facade. Constructing it authenticates (interactive sign-in, a developer token, or a stored credential) and binds the session to one tenant.
• client.suite, client.studio, client.workspace, client.agent, client.account — the API areas. Most expose resource objects with a uniform surface: list() and list_all(), get(), and, where the endpoint allows it, add(), update(), and delete().
• client.contracts — model contracts fetched from the server, and the advisory check that reads a job input against them.
• compose_input_dict() and check_input_dict() — assemble a job input from models, composition, and design space, then check it before submitting.
• link_for() — web-app links for a resource, as a module function or a client method.

help(icmd.ICMD) and icmd --help document the full surface; every public function, method, and class carries a docstring. For the written guides, the CLI reference, and the Jupyter notebook tutorials, contact your QuesTek representative.
