bult-cli-operator

A safety-focused command-line guide for operating Bult, including account access, project selection, services, deployments, logs, and debugging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to authenticate to Bult, inspect projects and services, deploy changes, read logs, and investigate runtime problems.
Why use it?
It helps avoid guessing important infrastructure details or making unclear and potentially destructive changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bult-cli-operator 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.

Skill: Bult CLI Operator

Use When

Use this skill when the user asks an AI agent to manage Bult from a terminal: authenticate, inspect account/project state, choose a project, manage services, deploy, read logs, or debug runtime state.

Agent Contract

You are operating infrastructure for the user. Prefer explicit, reversible, auditable CLI actions. Do not guess project IDs, service IDs, API tokens, Docker images, repository URLs, exposed ports, or destructive intent.

Prerequisites

Check that the CLI is available:

bult --help

If working inside the Bult CLI source checkout and no installed binary exists, use:

go run ./cmd/bult --help

In later examples, replace bult with go run ./cmd/bult only for source-checkout operation.

Shell Completion

Use completion commands when the user asks to set up tab completion:

bult completion bash
bult completion zsh
bult completion fish
bult completion powershell

Ask before writing to shell startup files, Homebrew completion directories, /etc, or PowerShell profiles. For a temporary current-session setup, follow the shell-specific instructions from:

bult completion <shell> --help

Authentication

Check authentication with a read-only command:

bult project list --json

If the CLI reports that the user is not logged in, ask the user to run:

bult login

bult login prompts for an API token. Never print, log, summarize, or ask the user to paste their token into normal chat unless they explicitly choose to.

Optional custom API URL:

bult login --api-url <api-url>

Logout:

bult logout

Project Resolution

Bult resolves the active project in this order:

  1. --project <project-id>
  2. .bult.yaml in the current directory
  3. the default project stored in ~/.bult/config.json

For automation, prefer passing --project <project-id> unless the user wants the current directory linked.

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.

bult-cli-operator is a skill published in the GitHub repository bultcloud/mcp-server (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 908 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
