Quickstart

The hexel CLI is for infrastructure and operations. Use it to manage compute, fleets, tasks, tools, policies, approvals, runtime, and auth.

Authenticate

export HEXEL_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
hexel auth login

Compute

# Sandboxes
hexel compute sandbox create --tier standard
hexel compute sandbox exec YOUR_SANDBOX_ID --code "print(1 + 1)"
hexel compute sandbox list
hexel compute sandbox release YOUR_SANDBOX_ID

# Agents
hexel compute agent register \
  --name my-agent \
  --image ghcr.io/your-org/agent:v1 \
  --capabilities "chat,streaming"
hexel compute agent list
hexel compute agent delete YOUR_AGENT_ID

# Instances (deploy is CLI-only, not in the SDK)
hexel compute instance deploy YOUR_AGENT_ID --env-file .env
hexel compute instance list
hexel compute instance stop YOUR_INSTANCE_ID
hexel compute instance redeploy YOUR_INSTANCE_ID
hexel compute instance delete YOUR_INSTANCE_ID

Orchestration

# Fleets
hexel fleet list

# Tasks
hexel task list
hexel task get YOUR_TASK_ID

# Approvals
hexel approval list
hexel approval review YOUR_APPROVAL_ID --approve

# Policies
hexel policy list
hexel policy evaluate

Tools

hexel tools list
hexel tools info YOUR_TOOL_SLUG

Runtime

hexel runtime lease ...
hexel runtime resources ...

Output formats

Most commands support -o table (default), -o json, and -o yaml:

hexel compute instance list -o json
