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.
