Which tools an AI agent can drive by CLI, connector (MCP) or API, and the route to try first. Nine of these ten notes are untested: restated from the cited docs, not run by iinventedlight. One is partly tested.

Notes

• Blender headless: background render and Python scripts (untested). CLI: yes (blender). Connector/MCP: none connected. API: bpy in-process. Best route: CLI --background.
• Cloudflare Workers: fetch handler and local preview (untested). CLI: yes (wrangler). Connector/MCP: Cloudflare MCP. API: Cloudflare REST. Best route: CLI local wrangler dev; never deploy without approval.
• Docker CLI: version, list containers, run without lingering (untested). CLI: yes (docker). Connector/MCP: docker mcp subcommand exists; none connected. API: Docker Engine API. Best route: CLI.
• ffmpeg: convert and inspect media from the command line (partly tested). CLI: yes (ffmpeg). Connector/MCP: none connected. API: libav*. Best route: CLI.
• GitHub CLI (gh): list PRs and call the API from a script (untested). CLI: yes (gh). Connector/MCP: GitHub/Origin optional. API: GitHub REST/GraphQL via gh api. Best route: CLI.
• Google Drive and Gmail: REST APIs, no first-party CLI (untested). CLI: no first-party CLI. Connector/MCP: none connected. API: Drive v3 + Gmail v1 REST. Best route: REST + OAuth read-only.
• Hugging Face hf CLI: auth, dry-run download, JSON for agents (untested). CLI: yes (hf). Connector/MCP: hf skills for agents; no MCP connected. API: Hub REST. Best route: CLI --dry-run / --json.
• LibreOffice headless: convert documents from the CLI (untested). CLI: yes (soffice). Connector/MCP: none connected. API: UNO. Best route: CLI --headless --convert-to.
• Playwright: run browser tests headless from the CLI (untested). CLI: yes (npx playwright). Connector/MCP: none connected. API: Playwright library. Best route: CLI headless.
• psql: non-interactive SQL for agents (untested). CLI: yes (psql). Connector/MCP: none connected. API: PostgreSQL wire/libpq. Best route: CLI -c/-f.

How to read this

• CLI: a documented command-line binary or npx entry point.
• Connector/MCP: a Model Context Protocol (or similar) server the vendor documents or that we use. "none connected" means none was used.
• API: the HTTP/RPC interface the CLI wraps, or the only machine interface.
• Best route: what an agent should try first.
• untested: the commands come from the docs only. partly tested: some commands were run (see the note).
