Pup is a Rust-based CLI from Datadog exposing 200+ commands across 33+ Datadog products, designed so AI agents (and humans) can fetch metrics, search logs, and manage monitors directly from the terminal. It emphasizes self-discoverable commands, structured JSON/YAML output for easy parsing, and OAuth2 + PKCE scoped authentication instead of long-lived API keys.

Use cases

• query datadog metrics from the command line
• let my AI agent fetch datadog logs and monitors
• search datadog logs for errors from terminal
• give an LLM agent structured JSON access to datadog APIs
• manage datadog monitors via cli
• automate datadog observability tasks in scripts

When to choose

• You want AI agents or automation scripts to interact with Datadog using machine-readable JSON/YAML output
• You need one consistent CLI covering many Datadog products instead of hand-writing API calls
• You want scoped OAuth2 access for agents rather than long-lived API keys

When to avoid

• You use a different observability platform such as Grafana or New Relic
• You primarily want a visual dashboard rather than command-line and agent-driven workflows
• You need to embed Datadog calls inside application code in a specific language, where an official SDK is a better fit
