agent-dx-cli-scale

The Agent DX CLI Scale is a structured evaluation framework for assessing how well command-line interfaces are designed for AI agent interaction. It scores CLIs across six critical dimensions: machine-readable output, raw payload input support, schema introspection, context window discipline, input hardening, and safety rails. Rather than optimizing for human discoverability, this scale prioritizes predictability and defense-in-depth—the capabilities agents need to operate reliably. Developers use it to audit existing CLIs or guide new CLI design toward agent compatibility, identifying gaps in structured output formats, validation logic, and dry-run capabilities that prevent agents from working effectively.
