For AI Agents

• Always use `--json` flag for structured output
• Use `@file.json` to pass complex JSON from files
• Check return codes: 0 = success, non-zero = error
• All IDs are strings, not integers
• API key is always masked in `config show` output
• Not available in public API: data tables, credential listing, execution stop
