Every AI agent needs a loyal companion. Meet Pup — the CLI that gives your agents full access to Datadog's observability platform (because even autonomous agents need good tooling, not just tricks).
A comprehensive, AI-agent-ready CLI covering a wide range of Datadog product domains. We've unleashed the full power of Datadog's APIs so your agents can fetch metrics, sniff out errors, and track down issues without barking up the wrong API tree.
AI agents are the fastest-growing interface for infrastructure management. Companies like Vercel and AWS are racing to make their platforms agent-accessible, but we're leading the pack. Pup makes Datadog a great choice for AI-native workflows by exposing the API surface in a way agents can navigate without barking up the wrong tree.
# Give your agent credentials (house-training, basically)
pup auth login
# Now they can fetch data like a good pup
pup monitors list --tags="team:api-platform" # Fetch monitors
pup logs search --query="status:error" --from="1h" # Sniff out errors
pup metrics query --query="avg:system.cpu.user{*}" # Track the metrics tail
:dog: TL;DR: We built a comprehensive CLI so AI agents can use Datadog like a pro. Give your agent a pup. They're housetrained, loyal, and know way more tricks than you'd expect.
P.S. No actual puppies were harmed in the making of this CLI. Just a lot of Rust code and API endpoints.
Pup covers most major Datadog product surfaces. See
docs/COMMANDS.md for the canonical command reference, or run
pup --help (or pup agent schema for machine-readable output) for the live
list of commands as built.
