What is cli-anything?

A plugin marketplace entry for cli-anything, a method for building command-line interfaces around graphical applications. A command-line interface lets software be controlled by typed commands or scripts instead of only through its graphical window.

Use it to register the cli-anything plugin in a marketplace and describe its purpose to users who want command-line access to graphical applications.

It gives the plugin catalogue information needed to make cli-anything available as a development tool. The input does not describe additional behaviour beyond this marketplace listing.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

cli-anything scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
