<h2>Role in the ecosystem</h2>

<p>The CLI should make common AeThex workflows scriptable without replacing the API or dashboard.</p>

</div>

Use the CLI for tasks that benefit from automation: project setup, authentication checks, local configuration, deployment helpers, API inspection, and operational diagnostics.

- Authenticate with AeThex using [[Authentication]].

- Select an organization, team, or project context.

- Inspect API resources from [[Api-Reference]].

- Generate local config for [[SDKs]].

- Run checks for permissions, tokens, or integration health.

- Commands should be explicit and safe by default.

- Destructive commands should ask for confirmation unless run in CI-safe mode.

- Output should support both human-readable and JSON modes.

- Errors should include next-step guidance and links back to docs.
