Getting started with @dbt-tools/cli

One-shot, scriptable analysis: machine-readable JSON, runtime schema introspection, --fields filtering, and stable exit codes for operators, CI, scripts, and coding agents.

Use dbt-tools for one-shot analysis from the shell or CI. Each invocation loads artifacts for that command unless you reuse the same local target path.

Install and run

npx @dbt-tools/cli status --dbt-target ./target

Or global install:

npm install -g @dbt-tools/cli
dbt-tools summary --dbt-target ./target

Set DBT_TOOLS_DBT_TARGET or pass --dbt-target to your dbt target/ directory.
