name	cli-anything-tigris
description	Command-line interface for Tigris object storage — wraps the official `tigris` CLI to expose buckets, objects, presigned URLs, snapshots, IAM, and scoped access keys to AI agents. Globally distributed, S3-compatible, no egress fees.

cli-anything-tigris

A stateless command-line interface for Tigris object storage. Wraps the official tigris CLI so every Tigris primitive (snapshots, IAM, scoped credentials, OAuth) is reachable through a single agent-friendly entry point with --json everywhere.

Scope

This harness is for the official Tigris CLI only. It shells out to the tigris binary and assumes Tigris auth through tigris login or Tigris access keys. It is not a generic S3 endpoint tool, and it does not manage MinIO, Cloudflare R2, AWS S3, or arbitrary S3-compatible endpoints.

Installation

# 1. Install the underlying Tigris CLI
npm install -g @tigrisdata/cli
# or:
brew install tigrisdata/tap/tigris

# 2. Authenticate (browser OAuth)
tigris login

# 3. Install this harness
pip install cli-anything-tigris

Prerequisites:

• Python 3.10+
• tigris CLI on PATH (the binary's alias is t3)

Usage

Basic Commands

# Show help
cli-anything-tigris --help

# Start interactive REPL
cli-anything-tigris

# Whoami (JSON output for agents)
cli-anything-tigris --json auth whoami

# List buckets
cli-anything-tigris --json bucket list

# Upload a local file
cli-anything-tigris --json object put --bucket my-bucket --key path/to/file.txt --file ./local.txt

# Download an object
cli-anything-tigris --json object get --bucket my-bucket --key path/to/file.txt --output ./out.txt

# Server-side copy
cli-anything-tigris --json object cp t3://my-bucket/src.txt t3://my-bucket/dst.txt

# Take a snapshot
cli-anything-tigris --json snapshot take my-bucket --name baseline-v1

# Delete a bucket; --yes is required
cli-anything-tigris --json bucket delete --name old-bucket --yes

# Create a scoped access key for an agent run
cli-anything-tigris --json access-key create my-agent-key
cli-anything-tigris --json access-key assign tid_AaBb --bucket my-bucket --role Editor

# Rotate or delete access keys; --yes is required
cli-anything-tigris --json access-key rotate tid_AaBb --yes
cli-anything-tigris --json access-key delete tid_AaBb --yes

# Presigned download URL (1 hour)
cli-anything-tigris --json presign get --bucket my-bucket --key path/to/file.txt --expires 3600

REPL Mode

When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL with tab-completion and history.

Command Groups

auth

OAuth-based authentication.

Command	Description
login	Browser OAuth login (tigris login)
logout	Log out of current session
whoami	Print authenticated user / org

bucket

Bucket CRUD.

Command	Description
list	List all buckets
create --name NAME	Create a bucket
delete --name NAME --yes	Delete an empty bucket (--yes required)
info NAME	Get bucket info

object

Object operations (wraps tigris ls/cp/rm/stat).

Command	Description
list --bucket B [--prefix P] [--limit N]	List objects
put --bucket B --key K (--file F | --text T)	Upload an object
get --bucket B --key K --output F	Download an object
delete --bucket B --key K	Delete an object
info --bucket B --key K	Object metadata (HEAD / stat)
cp SRC DST [-r]	Copy. Accepts t3:// or tigris:// URIs.

presign

Time-limited URLs.

Command	Description
get --bucket B --key K [--expires SEC]	Presigned download URL
put --bucket B --key K [--expires SEC]	Presigned upload URL

snapshot

Point-in-time bucket snapshots — a Tigris-specific primitive.

Command	Description
list BUCKET	List snapshots for a bucket
take BUCKET [--name N]	Take a snapshot

access-key

Scoped programmatic credentials — combine with snapshot for per-agent isolation.

Command	Description
list	List all access keys
create NAME	Create a new access key (secret shown ONCE)
get KEY_ID	Show key details
delete KEY_ID --yes	Permanently delete a key (--yes required)
assign KEY_ID --bucket B --role R	Scope a key to a bucket + role
rotate KEY_ID --yes	Rotate a key's secret (--yes required)

iam

Policies and organization users.

Command	Description
policy list	List IAM policies
policy create NAME --document FILE	Create a policy from a JSON file
user list	List org users
user invite EMAIL [--role R]	Invite a user

Output Formats

All commands support dual output modes:

• Human-readable (default): tables, colors, formatted text
• Machine-readable (--json): JSON envelope (or upstream CLI's --format json output, echoed verbatim)

For AI Agents

When using this CLI programmatically:

1. Always pass --json for parseable output.
2. Check return codes — 0 for success, non-zero for errors.
3. Read stderr for error messages.
4. object cp accepts t3://bucket/key or tigris://bucket/key URIs; server-side copies (t3 → t3) skip the round trip entirely.
5. presign returns a URL on stdout in human mode; in JSON mode it's the url field.
6. For destructive work: bucket deletion, access-key deletion, and access-key rotation require explicit --yes; take a snapshot of the target bucket first, then do the work, then either keep the snapshot or discard.
7. For per-agent isolation: access-key create + access-key assign --bucket B --role Editor to mint a key scoped to one bucket; revoke with access-key delete when the agent run ends.

Why Tigris

• Globally distributed. Data placed close to wherever it's read.
• No egress fees. Agents pulling artifacts from anywhere don't incur per-region bandwidth charges.
• Snapshots + scoped credentials. Primitives generic S3-compatible providers don't ship — the foundation for per-agent isolation.
• S3-compatible. Useful alongside S3-aware tools, but this harness itself is not a generic S3/MinIO/R2/AWS endpoint manager.
