kbagent command reference

Every kbagent command lives in a group. This page lists the groups and their subcommands; run kbagent <group> --help for exact flags and kbagent context for the full machine-readable reference (built for AI agents — see Use with AI agents).

Global flags

Available on every command:

Flag	Effect
--json / -j	Machine-readable output: { "status": "ok", "data": … }. Always use it for scripting/agents.
--verbose / -v	Verbose logging.
--no-color	Disable colored output (auto-off in non-TTY).
--config-dir	Use a specific config directory.
--deny-writes	Session firewall: block all write, destructive, and admin operations.
--deny-destructive	Session firewall: block only data-destructive operations.
--allow-env-manage-token	Permit reading KBC_MANAGE_API_TOKEN from the environment (default-deny).

$ kbagent --json project list
{ "status": "ok", "data": [ { "alias": "docs-demo", "project_name": "L0 - Shopify",
  "project_id": 264, "stack_url": "https://connection.europe-west3.gcp.keboola.com",
  "is_default": true, "org_id": 56 } ] }

Setup & info

init, doctor, version, update, changelog, context, repl, serve, permissions.

Project management

• project — add, list, remove, edit, status, use, current, info, refresh, invite, member-list, member-set-role, member-remove, invitation-list, description-get/set.
• org — setup (bulk-onboard projects / a whole organization).
• token — create (scoped, shown once), refresh (rotate), delete (revoke).
• feature — feature-flag management (super-admin Manage token).

Browse & inspect

• search — find configs/tables/buckets/flows by name or content, across projects. Global Search by default; --search-type config-based scans configurations where Global Search isn’t enabled.

  

• config — list, detail, search, update, delete; rows (row-create/update/delete); variables (variables-set/get/clear); metadata; oauth-url.

• job — list, detail, run, terminate.

• storage — buckets, tables, and files (browse and manage).

• lineage — cross-project, column-level data lineage: mermaid, HTML, or ER output, plus a local interactive viewer (lineage server).

  

• component, data-app, stream, sharing, kai (beta — kai ask queries Kai from the shell).

Flows

• flow — list, detail, schema, validate, new, update, delete, schedule, schedule-remove.
• schedule — discover and audit cron schedules across projects.

Development

• branch — list, create, use, reset, delete, merge, plus branch metadata-*.
• workspace — create, list, detail, delete, password, load, query, from-transformation, gc.
• sync — init, pull, status, diff, push, clone, branch-link/unlink/status.
• encrypt — values (one-way encrypt #-prefixed secrets).
• tool — call Keboola MCP tools directly.
• agent — scheduled AI agents: cron-driven agent tasks that run against your projects unattended (recipe): list, show, create, update, delete, run, runs, run-detail, run-events, test, prompt-improve, cron-preview.
• semantic-layer, dev-portal, http.

Error codes

With --json, failures return a stable string code you can branch on, grouped into categories (auth/access, network, API, configuration, jobs, storage, sync, and more) — for example INVALID_TOKEN, TIMEOUT, QUEUE_JOB_FAILED, UNKNOWN_ERROR. The full list is in the CLI’s docs/error-codes.md.
