Can I use Modal as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Modal CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Modal through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Modal tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Modal credentials stored?

Modal credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Modal MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Modal 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 Modal CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Modal CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure modal --set api_key="$MODAL_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call modal.modal_list_apps '{}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs modal --json
kosmo integrations:docs modal.modal_list_apps --json
kosmo integrations:schema modal.modal_list_apps --json
kosmo integrations:search "Modal" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

`modal.modal_get_app`	Read	app_id	Get details for a specific Modal app by ID, including status and metadata.
`modal.modal_list_functions`	Read	app_id	List all functions for a Modal app. Returns function IDs, names, and runtime details.
`modal.modal_list_schedules`	Read	app_id	List all scheduled functions for a Modal app. Returns schedule IDs, cron expressions, and function details.

Automation Notes

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