Terminal-driven CoderPad control

Run `create_new_interview_pad` directly from your shell to spin up sessions on the fly. This is perfect for DevOps engineers who want to script their interview setups. Use `list_coderpad_sessions` to monitor your pipeline. You get a clean list of active pads outputted right to your terminal window.

Audit session logs with Claude Code

Pipe the output of `get_pad_event_log` into your favorite text processing tools. It gives you raw access to the interview history for your own reporting needs. Check your organization's health with `get_coderpad_usage_history`. It provides the metrics you need to manage your interview quota from the command line.

Manage your CoderPad library in the terminal

Query `list_coderpad_questions` to see your available assessments without ever leaving your SSH session. It's the fastest way to verify your content bank. Verify your profile settings with `get_my_coderpad_profile`. You can quickly confirm your authenticated status and account scope before starting a batch process.
