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

Command Shape

# OpenAI CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure openai --set api_key="$OPENAI_API_KEY" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call openai.openai_chat_completion '{"model":"example_model","messages":"example_messages","temperature":1,"max_tokens":1,"top_p":1,"frequency_penalty":1,"presence_penalty":1,"response_format":"example_response_format"}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

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

kosmo integrations:docs openai --json
kosmo integrations:docs openai.openai_chat_completion --json
kosmo integrations:schema openai.openai_chat_completion --json
kosmo integrations:search "OpenAI" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json
