# CLI Tools

> Let SREs run read-only CLI commands from NOFire AI chat

Connect CLI tools to bring live command output into NOFire's system context. Before a deploy, that context shows what the change touches. When something breaks, the same output is the evidence NOFire reasons over.

<Note>
  **No credentials stored.** Each toggle lets SREs run that CLI tool through the NOFire AI CLI, using credentials already on *their own machine* (kubeconfig, `~/.aws`, and more). Only read-only commands are permitted.
</Note>

## Step 1: Turn on the tools your SREs need

1. Go to the **Connections** tab and click **Connect** on **CLI Tools**.
2. To allow a tool, turn its toggle on. To remove that connection, turn the toggle off.

Each toggle is its own connection. Turning it on creates that connection right away. Turning it off deletes it. There is no Save step.

| Toggle       | What it allows                                    |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| kubectl      | Kubernetes — get, describe, logs, top             |
| aws (cli)    | AWS CLI — describe, list, get (read-only)         |
| git          | Git — status, log, diff, branch                   |
| gcloud (cli) | Google Cloud CLI — describe, list, get            |
| helm         | Helm — list, status, get, history                 |
| terraform    | Terraform — show, plan, output, state list        |
| bash         | General shell — cat, grep, ps, df, ls (read-only) |

## Step 2: Connect from the CLI

Once a tool is turned on, an SRE reaches it through the [NOFire AI CLI](/cli/getting-started):

1. Create a CLI API key in **Account → API Keys** (see [API Keys](/mcp/api-keys)).
2. Run `nofireai auth login` and paste the key.
3. Start a session with `nofireai chat start`.

<Tip>
  [Getting Started](/cli/getting-started) covers authentication, chat commands, and keyboard controls for the CLI.
