Prerequisites

See Setup Pup for installation and authentication.

Command Execution Policy

Use this order for scoped commands:

Check context first (conversation, prior outputs, known values).
Run discovery commands when required values are missing.
Ask the user only when values remain ambiguous.
Run the target command after required inputs are known.
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.
