Clous CLI Integration
Use the packaged clous CLI from sdk/python for scripts, CI, and AI-agent automation.
Workflow
- Configure credentials with env vars:
CLOUS_API_BASE_URL,CLOUS_API_KEY, orCLOUS_ACCESS_TOKEN. - Use JSON input with
--dataor@file.json; never depend on prompts in automation. - Prefer explicit resources:
info,objects,agents,a2a, andmcp. - Capture stdout as JSON and stderr as diagnostics.
- Treat non-zero exits as blocking unless the command was explicitly exploratory.
Examples
clous info
clous objects types
clous objects list employee
clous agents run --data '{"input":"Create a team health report"}'
clous mcp config
Agent Safety
- Use read commands before writes.
- Use a scoped key for automation.
- Store generated files outside shared repos unless the user asked to persist them.
