Prerequisites

See Setup Pup for installation and authentication.

Command Execution Policy

Use this order for scoped commands:

1. Check context first (conversation, prior outputs, known values).
2. Run discovery commands when required values are missing.
3. Ask the user only when values remain ambiguous.
4. Run the target command after required inputs are known.
5. Avoid speculative commands likely to fail.

Quick Reference

Task	Command
Search error logs	pup logs search --query "status:error" --from 1h
List monitors	pup monitors list
Schedule monitor downtime	pup downtime create --file downtime.json
Find slow traces	pup traces search --query "service:api @duration:>500ms" --from 1h
Query metrics	pup metrics query --query "avg:system.cpu.user{*}"
Check auth	pup auth status
Refresh token	pup auth refresh

Auth

pup auth login          # OAuth2 (recommended)
pup auth status         # Check token
pup auth refresh        # Refresh expired token

⚠️ Token Expiry: OAuth tokens expire (~1 hour). Run pup auth refresh if commands fail with 401/403.
