# Documentation

> CubeAPM CLI is an agent-ready, harness-agnostic terminal tool: any coding agent or agent harness that can run shell commands can manage traces, metrics, and logs with structured JSON/YAML output, read-only safety, and no-input automation. It is an independent, unofficial open-source project and is not affiliated with CubeAPM or its vendor.
