cli

The Invoke CLI gives you a terminal interface to the full Invoke execution runtime. Use it to authenticate, scaffold new agent projects, deploy to the runtime, call tools interactively, and inspect registered agents.

Installation

npm install -g @invoke/cli

Or run without installing:

npx @invoke/cli

Authentication

invoke login

Stores your credentials locally for subsequent commands. Your API key is read from INVOKE_API_KEY if set, otherwise the login flow prompts for it.

Commands

`invoke init`

Scaffold a new agent project with a template.

invoke init <project-name> --template <template-name>

Flag	Description
`--template`	Starting template (`crm-guardrail`, `billing-agent`, `blank`)

invoke init billing-agent --template crm-guardrail

`invoke deploy`

Deploy the current project to the Invoke runtime. Run from inside a project directory.

invoke deploy

`invoke agents list`

List all registered agents in your account.

invoke agents list

`invoke call`

Call a tool directly from the terminal. Useful for testing without writing SDK code.

invoke call <tool-name> '<params-json>'

invoke call stripe.charge_customer \
  '{"customer_id":"cust_123","amount":2400}'

`invoke demo`

Run the full execution loop — reconciliation, state verification, policy gates, and trace output — against a live demo scenario. No real Stripe account needed.
