Terminal-based AI detection

Run `detect_ai_in_text` directly from your shell. Pipe your text files into the command and get the AI probability score printed straight to your terminal. This is perfect for CI/CD pipelines. If the score exceeds your limit, the process exits with an error.

Scripted API management

Use `get_api_quotas` in your shell scripts to monitor budget before a large job starts. If credits are low, your script can pause or notify your team. Combine this with `check_api_health` to ensure your automated job doesn't fail due to an upstream outage. It’s simple, effective control.

Policy-driven analysis

Call `get_usage_policy` to print the current compliance rules to your terminal. This ensures your automated agents always operate within the set boundaries. It keeps your documentation and your code in sync. You don't have to leave the command line to check the rules.
