Agent-Ready CLI Benchmarks

Compare documented structured output, headless support, command risk, and evidence freshness without combining them into one safety claim.

Three Independent Signals

The table sorts by Agent Readiness while preserving risk and evidence in separate columns. High readiness is not low risk, and a documentation review is not an execution test.

Agent Readiness
Measures output, headless operation, authentication, determinism, docs, install, maintenance, and artifacts.
Command-level risk
Runs from read-only R0 to irreversible or production-impacting R3; default and maximum remain separate.
Evidence confidence
Separates executed checks, official-doc review, maintainer submission, community reports, and unverified claims.

Registry Benchmark Data

This table covers 38 tools. Checked is the official-material review date; only entries with real execution evidence display a tested version.
