AI agents are becoming a standard part of how engineers write, deploy, and troubleshoot software. Getting observability data into those workflows, securely and without manual intervention, remains the harder problem.
Pup CLI gives shell-style agents, automation pipelines, and scripting workflows secure, OAuth-scoped access to 33+ Datadog product domains through a single binary with 200+ commands. Agents can discover commands dynamically, reason over structured JSON or YAML output, and use built-in skills and runbooks without managing long-lived API keys. Because agents pull only the commands they need via pup agent schema rather than loading a full tool definition library upfront, working context is more token efficient. The CLI pairs with the Datadog MCP Server, which covers conversational, chat-style workflows in IDEs and assistants.
In this post, you’ll learn how to:
- Give shell-style agents a CLI built for Datadog
- Access the Datadog platform from one binary
