Datadog CLI for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The Datadog CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Datadog CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure datadog --set api_key="$DATADOG_API_KEY" --set app_key="$DATADOG_APP_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call datadog.datadog_list_monitors '{"name":"example_name","tags":"example_tags","page":1,"page_size":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Datadog docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs datadog --json
kosmo integrations:docs datadog.datadog_list_monitors --json
kosmo integrations:schema datadog.datadog_list_monitors --json
kosmo integrations:search "Datadog" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json
