Perplexity

CLI-driven render generation

Trigger `create_render_job` directly from your shell to start heavy lifting in the cloud. Claude Code handles the command execution and waits for your confirmation to proceed. Use `get_job_status` in your shell scripts to check if the render is complete. This allows you to pipe the status output into other terminal commands or CI pipelines.

Query assets via terminal

Fetch available scenes and materials by calling `list_scenes` or `list_materials` through the CLI. The output is formatted for easy reading or piping into other tools like grep or jq. Use `get_product` to inspect individual item details without leaving your workspace. This is useful for verifying asset IDs before triggering a render job.

Account monitoring in shell

Check your account status with `get_account` to monitor credit usage from the command line. This helps you manage your budget during automated batch processes. Run `list_renders` to review your job history or troubleshoot failed renders. The output gives you the exact status of your visual assets.
