Usage

rpk ai [flags]

Subcommands

Command Description

rpk ai agent

Manage agents registered with the Redpanda AI platform. Agents are either managed (adp runs them; configured via a model, LLM provider, system prompt and MCP servers) or self-managed (a metadata-only record tracking a user-hosted agent).

rpk ai agent-kill-switch

Inspect or update agent containment.

rpk ai agent-network

Query agent relationships and provider failures.

rpk ai api-key

Manage API keys (create, get, list, update, delete).

rpk ai auditlog

Read the ADP audit log: who did what, to which resource, from where, and which policy allowed or denied it, across the management API, the LLM proxy, the MCP gateway and agents. The log is read-only.

rpk ai auth

Manage rpk ai authentication (login, logout, token, status).

rpk ai budget

Manage Budgets (create, get, list, update, delete).

rpk ai connection

List and revoke the OAuth connections you hold to third-party providers. A connection is your personal grant to a provider (created by signing in through the consent flow) that lets user_oauth MCP servers act on your behalf.

rpk ai docs

Read published Agentic Data Plane guides and command references without signing in. With no path, browse a searchable picker in an interactive terminal, or print an index when piped.

rpk ai effective-policy-set

Inspect the delivered authorization policy snapshot.

rpk ai env

Manage rpk ai environments (list, use, add, show, rename, delete).

rpk ai guardrail

Manage Guardrails (create, get, list, update, delete).

rpk ai ingest-feedback

Inspect telemetry ingestion diagnostics.

rpk ai install

Install the Redpanda AI CLI. This command installs the latest version by default.

rpk ai kill-switch-policy

Manage Kill switch policies (create, get, list, update, delete).

rpk ai llm-provider

Manage LLM providers (create, get, list, update, delete).

rpk ai mcp-server

Manage MCP servers (create, get, list, update, delete).

rpk ai model

Discover the models the Redpanda AI gateway exposes. The catalog is read-only; model list and model get are the only verbs.

rpk ai oauth-client

Manage OAuth clients registered with the AI gateway’s OAuth Authorization Server. An OAuth client is an external tool (such as Claude AI, ChatGPT, or Cursor) that requests access tokens for an MCP server.

rpk ai oauth-provider

Manage OAuth authorization-server configurations registered with the Redpanda AI gateway. OAuth providers describe third-party authorization servers that user-facing MCP servers can authenticate against via the device-consent flow.

rpk ai policy

Manage policies and analyze or format draft Cedar.

rpk ai policy-template

Manage Policy templates (create, get, list, update, delete).

rpk ai run

Launch a third-party coding agent configured to send its model traffic through the Redpanda AI gateway for the current environment. Authenticated sessions require an ADP API key.

rpk ai secret

Manage the secrets that LLM providers, MCP servers, OAuth clients, and agents reference by ID, for example with --openai-config.api-key-ref. Secret values are write-only: no command prints a stored value.

rpk ai session

Inspect, rename or delete a managed agent’s conversation sessions.

rpk ai spending

Query spending and usage.

rpk ai system-policy

Inspect system policies and action groups.

rpk ai trace

Query traces, counts and tool sets.

rpk ai trigger

Manage the triggers on an agent: the configured ways an agent is invoked from the outside (Microsoft Teams, or a cron schedule). A trigger belongs to exactly one agent, and its resource name carries that parent: agents/{agent}/triggers/{trigger}.

rpk ai uninstall

Uninstall the Redpanda AI CLI.

rpk ai upgrade

Upgrade to the latest Redpanda AI CLI version.

rpk ai version

Print rpk ai version and commit.
