agent-gateway-cli

agent-gateway-cli is a terminal client for interacting with an online agent gateway. It provides an interactive shell for authentication, sessions, settings, and agent conversations.

The installed command is:

agw

Requirements

• Python 3.13 or newer
• Access to an agent gateway

Install

Install the latest release from PyPI:

python -m pip install agent-gateway-cli

The package can also be installed from a local checkout:

python -m pip install .

Initialize

Create the default configuration with the gateway URL:

agw --init https://gateway.example.com

This creates the configuration file only if it does not already exist. The default location is:

• Unix-like systems: ~/.agent_gateway_cli.yaml
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.agent_gateway_cli.yaml

If the file already exists, initialization fails without changing it.

To initialize a different file:

agw --config /path/to/cli.yaml --init https://gateway.example.com

On Windows PowerShell:

agw --config C:\path\to\cli.yaml --init https://gateway.example.com

Run

Start the interactive client:

agw

The client displays its version, then prompts for gateway credentials. Type help in the shell to see available commands. Common commands include:

auth login
auth logout
motd
session list
session show
session switch <session-id>
set
set streaming_enabled true
quit

Use --config to select a non-default configuration file:

agw --config /path/to/cli.yaml

The same path can be supplied through AGF_CLI_CONFIG_PATH.

Configuration

The example configuration is available at config/cli.yaml.example:

base_url: https://gateway.example.com
settings_path: ~/.agent_gateway_cli.yaml
history_path: ~/.agent_gateway_cli_history
history_entries: 50
request_timeout: 120

Local settings are stored in settings_path. Command history is stored separately in history_path and is limited to history_entries lines per user. The default history limit is 50.

To disable the shell's friendly error recovery and allow interrupts and exceptions to propagate:

agw --no-error-handling
