First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.\n\nSource: OpenCLI\n"},"fit":{"bestFor":"ibm cloud, cloud resources, and deployments from the terminal.","useThisIf":"You want cloud infrastructure you can script with structured output.","skipIf":"You're not comfortable with a tool that can write to production.","whatHappensNext":"Run `ibmcloud target` and see what comes back."},"capabilities":{"agentFriendly":true,"supportsJsonOutput":true,"supportsNonInteractive":true,"supportsDryRun":false,"requiresAuth":true,"requiresNetwork":true,"ciFriendly":true,"localFirst":false,"destructivePotential":"high"},"taxonomy":{"useCases":["IBM Cloud","Cloud resources","Deployments"],"aliases":[],"keywords":["ibm","cloud"],"tags":[]},"links":{"website":"https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli","github":"https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/ibm-cloud-cli-sdk","docs":"https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli","opencli":"https://opencli.co/cli/ibmcloud","markdown":"https://opencli.co/cli/ibmcloud/agent.md","json":"https://opencli.co/cli/ibmcloud.json"},"metrics":{"githubStars":35,"latestRelease":"2026-06-05T22:35:07Z","license":"Apache-2.0","metricLabel":"Homebrew installs (30d)","metricValue":153,"metricSource":"homebrew","metricAsOf":"2026-06-08T11:01:09.816Z"}}
