Agent usage examples
Codex CLI
Use Supabase CLI to inspect project status and generate types. Ask before reset, migration repair, secrets, or deploy commands. Safety notes
- Agents can safely inspect local status, linked projects, and generated types.
- Database reset, migration repair, secrets, and deploy commands should require approval.
- Use local development projects before touching hosted production data.
What agents can use it for
Supabase CLI helps agents inspect local development services, link projects, generate database types, and validate migration state.
Best fit
Use it for Supabase app development where local-first checks should happen before hosted project changes.
