Agent Integration

JSON output

JSON output is automatic when stdout is not a TTY, or forced with --json. Data goes to stdout, messages to stderr.

zoom meetings list --json | jq '.[].topic'

Schema introspection

zoom schema meetings | jq '.fields'

The schema command outputs a JSON description of resource fields and types -- enabling AI agents to discover operations without parsing help text.

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success
1	General error
2	Auth or config error
3	Not found
