API Routes
List CLI Providers
GET /api/v1/cli-providers
Get Provider Details
GET /api/v1/cli-providers/:id
Check Installation
POST /api/v1/cli-providers/:id/check
{
"workspacePath": "/path/to/project"
}
Install Provider
POST /api/v1/cli-providers/:id/install
Filter by Capability
GET /api/v1/cli-providers/by-capability/agenticMode
Using CLI Tools in Agents
The DgiDgi agent system can invoke CLI tools:
// List available CLI tools
const tools = await executeCLITool("cli.list", {}, context, events, deps);
// Check if a tool is installed
const status = await executeCLITool("cli.check", {
provider: "claude-code"
}, context, events, deps);
// Invoke a CLI tool
const result = await executeCLITool("cli.invoke", {
provider: "aider",
prompt: "Add unit tests for the user service",
files: ["src/services/user.service.ts"],
timeout: 120000,
}, context, events, deps);
// Spawn interactive session
const session = await executeCLITool("cli.spawn", {
provider: "claude-code"
}, context, events, deps);
// Send input to session
await executeCLITool("cli.send", {
processId: session.output.processId,
input: "explain this codebase"
}, context, events, deps);
// Kill session
await executeCLITool("cli.kill", {
processId: session.output.processId
}, context, events, deps);
Security Considerations
CLI tools run as subprocesses with the following security measures:
- Workspace Isolation: Commands run within the project workspace
- Secret Redaction: Output is scanned and secrets are redacted
- Timeout Enforcement: Commands have configurable timeouts (default 2 min)
- Process Tracking: All spawned processes are tracked and can be killed
- Environment Isolation: Custom env vars can override process.env
