| version | 1.0.0 |
| description | AE Agent system administration CLI for root and agent administrators. Use when the user asks to manage Agent members, sandboxes, company model visibility/defaults, usage statistics, cost quotas, balance alerts, or IM channels. Must use ae-cli system commands, discover real IDs before writes, and never attempt to bypass a permission denial. |
ae-system
Use the system domain for Agent system administration:
ae-cli system +<command> [options]
Mandatory Rules
- These commands are only for users whose Agent role is
root or agent_admin.
- The te-agent
/api/admin/** endpoint is the final authorization boundary. A member receives a permission error (HTTP 403). Do not retry login or attempt a different endpoint after a 403.
- Run
ae-cli auth login --host <host> before using this domain. System administration requires a user access-token session; sandbox identity headers are not an authorization substitute.
+npm-install is the exception that must also run inside a Linux te-agent sandbox because it packages the installed Linux files. It still requires the logged-in user to be root or agent_admin.
- Discover real IDs with a list command before any update or delete. Never guess a user, sandbox, model, quota rule, or channel ID.
- Read and ordinary write commands run without confirmation. Commands marked
high-risk-write require confirmation unless the user explicitly authorizes --yes.
- Use
--dry-run to inspect method, path, query, and redacted body without executing.
- JSON inputs accept inline JSON,
@file, or - for stdin. Prefer @file for channel credentials and other sensitive values.
- Successful output is JSON by default. Use
--format table only when a human-readable table is more useful.
- After each command, check stderr and
_notice.host_compat. If present, show the version warning and its update commands before the business result.
Command Groups
Members
| Command | Risk | Purpose |
|---|
+list-member-candidates | read | List TE company users that can be added. |
+list-members | read | List Agent members in the current company. |
+add-members | write | Add one or more TE users, optionally binding a quota rule or creating sandboxes. |
+set-member-status | write | Enable or disable a member. |
+set-member-role | write | Change a non-root member between agent_admin and member. |
+remove-member | high-risk-write | Remove a non-root member. |

ae-cli system +set-member-role --user-id <user-id> --role agent_admin
+list-members filters:
--q: login/display name search.
--status: all | enabled | disabled.
--page, --page-size: page size is 1-100.
--all: return all matches.
--sort-field periodUsedAmount, --sort-dir asc|desc: central usage sort.
+add-members --members schema:
[
{
"openId": "required",
"loginName": "optional",
"displayName": "optional"
}
]
Optional flags are --rule-id and --create-sandbox true|false.
Sandboxes
| Command | Risk | Purpose |
|---|
+list-sandboxes | read | List company sandboxes. |
+batch-create-sandboxes | write | Create personal sandboxes for 1-100 users. |
+update-sandbox | write | Update a sandbox description. |
+set-sandbox-enabled | write | Enable or disable a sandbox. |
+start-sandbox | write | Start a sandbox container. |
+stop-sandbox | write | Stop a sandbox container. |
+list-sandbox-users | read | List users bound to a sandbox. |
+bind-sandbox-user | write | Bind a member to a sandbox. |
+unbind-sandbox-user | high-risk-write | Remove a sandbox user binding. |
+remove-sandbox | high-risk-write | Delete a sandbox and its bindings. |
Examples:
ae-cli system +batch-create-sandboxes \
--user-ids '["<user-id-1>","<user-id-2>"]' \
--description "Data team"
ae-cli system +set-sandbox-enabled --id <sandbox-id> --enabled true
ae-cli system +bind-sandbox-user --id <sandbox-id> --user-id <user-id>
Use Agent database user IDs from +list-members, not TE openIds, for sandbox commands.
Shared Sandbox Tools
| Command | Risk | Purpose |
|---|
+upload-sandbox-tool | write | Validate, ZIP, and upload an existing tool directory. |
+npm-install | write | Install one exact npm CLI version in a temporary sandbox directory, generate tool.json, and upload it. |
Uploaded tools are registered for the current company with enabled=false. Upload does not activate the tool in any running sandbox. Review and enable/activate it through sandbox tool management after upload.
Preferred npm Flow
Run this inside the target Linux te-agent sandbox:
ae-cli auth login --host <host>
ae-cli system +npm-install --package eslint@9.32.0
For a scoped package or a custom shared-tool identifier:
ae-cli system +npm-install \
--package @scope/example-cli@1.2.3 \
--name example-cli
Requirements and behavior:
--package must be an exact registry package version. Tags, ranges, URLs, Git sources, npm aliases, and local paths are rejected.
- The installed package must expose at least one
package.json bin entry. Each bin becomes one tool command.
- The default tool name is the unscoped package name. Use
--name only when a different valid lowercase tool identifier is required.
- npm lifecycle scripts are disabled with
--ignore-scripts by default. Use --allow-scripts true only after reviewing and trusting the package and all transitive dependencies.
- The command calls the admin upload-policy endpoint before starting npm. A disabled feature, expired session, or non-admin role fails before installation.
- Installation uses a temporary prefix with development dependencies omitted. Temporary installation and ZIP files are removed whether upload succeeds or fails.
- npm-created
node_modules/.bin symlinks are converted to regular executable wrappers in the ZIP. All other symlinks, special files, and links resolving outside the package root are rejected.
- Pure JavaScript Node.js CLIs are the supported baseline. Packages that require native addons, downloaded platform binaries, build tools, system libraries, or lifecycle setup may fail when scripts are disabled or when activated in a different runtime image.
- If lifecycle scripts are necessary, install and upload from the same Linux sandbox image family that will execute the tool. Upload never makes an incompatible native artifact portable.
Existing Directory Flow
Use the low-level command when the tool is already installed or assembled:
ae-cli system +upload-sandbox-tool --path /absolute/path/to/tool-root
The directory root must contain exactly one tool.json. An external manifest is allowed only when the root has no tool.json:
ae-cli system +upload-sandbox-tool \
--path /absolute/path/to/tool-root \
--manifest /absolute/path/to/tool.json
Minimal manifest:
{
"schemaVersion": 1,
"name": "example-cli",
"displayName": "Example CLI",
"description": "Optional description",
"version": "1.2.3",
"commands": [
{
"name": "example",
"entry": "node_modules/example-cli/bin/example.js",
"runtime": "node"
}
]
}
Upload contract:
name and command names must start with a lowercase letter and contain only lowercase letters, numbers, ., _, or -, with a maximum length of 64.
- Command names must not replace reserved runtime commands such as
node, npm, npx, bash, python, git, curl, or sudo.
- Every command
entry must be a regular file under the upload root. Use runtime: "node" for JavaScript entry files and runtime: "native" only for an executable compatible with the sandbox Linux image.
- Paths must be relative and normalized. Absolute paths,
.., backslashes, control characters, empty segments, and a current path segment are rejected.
- ZIP limits are 50 MB compressed, 500 MB unpacked, 50 MB per file, and 10,000 files. The server publishes only after independently validating the same boundaries.
- Do not pre-create or write
/data/app/te_agent_ta/share/tools from a sandbox. Sandboxes are read-only for that directory; the authenticated te-agent upload endpoint owns the final write and registration.
- A tool name can be registered only once per company in this first static-version flow. Choose the final name and version before upload.
Models
| Command | Risk | Purpose |
|---|
+list-system-models | read | List system models and company visibility. |
+set-system-model-enabled | write | Toggle a system model for the current company. |
+list-company-models | read | List company models, including disabled models. |
+set-company-model-enabled | write | Toggle a company model for all company users. |
+get-default-models | read | Read the AE_AGENT and AI_QA default slots. |
+set-default-model | write | Set one default model slot. |
+clear-default-model | high-risk-write | Clear one default model slot. |
Examples:
ae-cli system +list-system-models
ae-cli system +set-system-model-enabled --model-id <model-id> --enabled false
ae-cli system +set-default-model --model-id <model-id> --biz-type AE_AGENT
--biz-type is AE_AGENT | AI_QA and defaults to AE_AGENT. Use the database id returned by a model list, not the provider model name.
Usage
| Command | Risk | Purpose |
|---|
+get-usage-summary | read | Get token/cost summary for a relative or absolute range. |
+get-usage-details | read | Get paginated usage grouped by user, model, date, or application type. |
Examples:
ae-cli system +get-usage-summary --days 30
ae-cli system +get-usage-details \
--start-date 2026-07-01 \
--end-date 2026-07-24 \
--group-by user \
--page 1 \
--page-size 20
Summary range:
- Use
--days 1..365, or provide both --start-date and --end-date.
- Dates use
YYYY-MM-DD.
Details flags:
--start-date and --end-date are required.
--group-by: user | model | date | app_type.
- Optional filters:
--search, --open-id, --model-id, --model-scope, --app-type.
--model-scope requires --model-id.
--sort-by: totalTokens | cost | share | requestCount.
--sort-dir: asc | desc.
Cost Control
| Command | Risk | Purpose |
|---|
+get-cost-summary | read | Get company cost, quota, and usage summary. |
+get-balance-alert | read | Get balance alert config and current status. |
+set-balance-alert | write | Enable, update, or disable the balance alert. |
+list-quota-rules | read | List cost/token quota rules. |
+create-quota-rule | write | Create a company or user quota rule. |
+update-quota-rule | write | Update a quota rule. |
+remove-quota-rule | high-risk-write | Delete a quota rule. |
+bind-quota-rule-user | write | Bind a quota rule to a TE user openId. |
Examples:
ae-cli system +set-balance-alert --enabled true --threshold 100
ae-cli system +create-quota-rule --rule @quota-rule.json
ae-cli system +bind-quota-rule-user --id <rule-id> --open-id <open-id>
Quota rule JSON:
{
"name": "Daily user quota",
"subjectType": "USER",
"periodType": "DAY",
"quotaType": "TOKEN",
"totalTokens": "10",
"allowedModels": ["<model-id>"],
"modelLimits": [
{
"modelId": "<model-id>",
"limitTokens": "5"
}
],
"openIds": ["<open-id>"]
}
Rules:
subjectType: USER | COMPANY.
periodType: DAY | WEEK | MONTH.
quotaType: COST | TOKEN.
- COST uses
budgetAmount; TOKEN uses totalTokens. Token values are expressed in millions.
allowedModels and modelLimits are optional according to the server rule type.
- Update accepts a partial rule object.
Channels
| Command | Risk | Purpose |
|---|
+list-channels | read | List Feishu, Lark, and Slack channels. |
+create-channel | write | Create one channel. |
+update-channel | write | Update channel settings, credentials, model, prompt, or enabled state. |
+remove-channel | high-risk-write | Delete a channel, unbind users, and stop its connection. |
Always use @file for channel payloads when they contain credentials:
ae-cli system +create-channel --channel @channel.json
ae-cli system +update-channel --id <channel-id> --channel @channel-update.json
Create schema:
{
"name": "Required display name",
"type": "feishu",
"config": {
"appId": "Feishu/Lark",
"appSecret": "Feishu/Lark",
"botToken": "Slack",
"appToken": "Slack",
"clientId": "optional",
"clientSecret": "optional"
},
"model": "optional Model.id or modelId::scope",
"systemPrompt": "optional"
}
Update accepts a partial object with name, config, model, systemPrompt, enabled, or unbindUsers. Channel type is immutable after creation. Dry-run replaces secret values with ***.
Permission Errors
A permission response looks like:
{
"ok": false,
"error": {
"type": "permission",
"message": "..."
}
}
On this response:
- Do not retry with another admin path.
- Do not recommend re-login unless the server returned 401 instead.
- Tell the user that
root or agent_admin is required.
Transport Status
