Harness tools

Command-line programs

Install recipes with the published checksum for each platform, and a typed wrapper that checks the arguments before the program runs. CSV, JSON, SQL and text tools your agent can call from a step.

14 shown here, from 3,910 program install recipes in the library release of October 9, 2026.

What to watch for

  • An install without a checksum cannot show the download is the one published.
  • Wrapping a program lets a step refuse a bad argument before anything runs.
  • A program's licence travels with it, beside the recipe's own.
