Chainguard chainctl CLI is one of 6 APIs that [Chainguard](https://apis.io/providers/chainguard/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Automation, CLI, and Tooling. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, authentication docs, and a GitHub repository.

chainctl is the official command-line interface for the Chainguard platform. It provides commands for authentication, IAM, image management, registry operations, event subscriptions, packages, libraries, and configuration. chainctl uses the same underlying APIs (v1 and v2) and is often the fastest path to automating Chainguard workflows.
