description

Drive the agentkit CLI (aliases agentkit / ak) to scaffold, build, deploy, and manage agents on Volcengine AgentKit from the terminal — runtimes, knowledge bases, memory collections, tools, harnesses, invocation, SSO auth, sandboxes, and evaluation datasets. Use when a user wants to create/deploy an agent project, call or inspect a deployed runtime, manage AgentKit resources, or resolve a CLI/auth/deploy error. Does NOT handle non-AgentKit deployment, general Docker/k8s operations, Volcengine IAM management, or writing agent application code (use veadk-agent-development for that).

AgentKit CLI

The agentkit CLI (also aliased ak) scaffolds, builds, deploys, and manages agents on Volcengine AgentKit. It signs Volcengine OpenAPI requests, so every command needs credentials (see Authentication). Optimize for a tight loop: init → deploy → invoke → iterate.

For the exhaustive command list with one-liners and examples, read references/commands.md — locate it and read it rather than guessing at flags. When in doubt about what exists, run agentkit tree (add --all for args/options, --json for machine output).

When to Use This Skill

• Scaffolding a new agent project (init) and shipping it (deploy)
• Calling a deployed runtime (invoke) or inspecting one (runtime show/logs/versions)
• Managing AgentKit resources: knowledge bases, memory collections, tools, datasets
• Building a code-free agent from a harness.yaml (harness)
• Signing in via SSO or switching login profiles (auth)
• Diagnosing a CLI, auth, build, or deploy failure
