Hootsuite CLI for Shell Scripts
Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output.
Use shell scripts for small local automations that need one or more integration calls. The Hootsuite CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Automation Notes
- Use
--jsonfor machine-readable output. - Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
- Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use
--forceonly for trusted automation. - Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
