A Python CLI for querying and controlling Tesla vehicles via the Fleet API — built for both human operators and AI agents.
|
|
69
|
-
|
|
70
|
-
## What It Does
|
|
71
|
-
|
|
72
|
-
tescmd gives you full command-line access to Tesla's Fleet API: check battery and charge status, lock or unlock doors, control climate, open trunks, send navigation waypoints, manage Powerwalls, stream live telemetry, and more. It handles OAuth2 authentication, token refresh, key enrollment, command signing, and response caching so you don't have to. Every command works in both interactive (Rich tables) and scripted (JSON) modes, and an MCP server lets AI agents call any command as a tool.
|
|
73
|
-
|
|
74
|
-
## Why tescmd?
|
|
75
|
-
|
|
76
|
-
Tesla's Fleet API gives developers full access to vehicle data and commands, but working with it directly means juggling OAuth2 PKCE flows, token refresh, regional endpoints, key enrollment, and raw JSON responses.
|
|
77
|
-
|
|
78
|
-
tescmd wraps all of that into a single command-line tool that handles authentication, token management, and output formatting so you can focus on what you actually want to do — check your battery, find your car, or control your vehicle.
|
|
79
|
-
|
|
80
|
-
tescmd is designed to work as a tool that AI agents can invoke directly. Platforms like [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai/), [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai), and other agent frameworks can call tescmd commands, parse the structured JSON output, and take actions on your behalf — "lock my car", "what's my battery at?", "start climate control". The deterministic JSON output, meaningful exit codes, cost-aware wake confirmation, and `--wake` opt-in flag make it safe for autonomous agent use without surprise billing.

## Features
|
|
83
|
-
|
|
84
|
-
- **Vehicle state queries** — battery, range, charge status, climate, location, doors, windows, trunks, tire pressure, dashcam, sentry mode, and more
|
|
85
|
-
- **Vehicle commands** — charge start/stop/limit/departure scheduling, climate on/off/set temp/seats/steering wheel, lock/unlock, sentry mode, trunk/frunk, windows, HomeLink, navigation waypoints, media playback, speed limits, PIN management
|
|
86
|
-
- **Vehicle Command Protocol** — ECDH session management with HMAC-SHA256 signed commands via the `signed_command` endpoint; automatically used when keys are enrolled
|
|
87
|
-
- **Key enrollment** — `tescmd key enroll <VIN>` sends your public key to the vehicle and guides you through Tesla app approval
|
|
88
|
-
- **Tier enforcement** — readonly tier blocks write commands with clear guidance to upgrade
|
|
89
|
-
- **Energy products** — Powerwall live status, site info, backup reserve, operation mode, storm mode, time-of-use settings, charging history, calendar history, grid import/export
|
|
90
|
-
- **User & sharing** — account info, region, orders, feature flags, driver management, vehicle sharing invites
|
|
91
|
-
- **Live Dashboard** — `tescmd serve` launches a full-screen TUI showing live telemetry data, MCP server info, tunnel URL, sink count, and cache stats — all in a scrollable, interactive terminal UI powered by Textual
|
|
92
|
-
- **Fleet Telemetry streaming** — `tescmd serve` (or `tescmd vehicle telemetry stream`) receives push-based data from your vehicle via Tailscale Funnel — no polling, 99%+ cost reduction. Telemetry sessions produce a wide-format CSV log by default
|
|
93
|
-
- **OpenClaw Bridge** — `tescmd serve --openclaw ws://...` streams filtered telemetry to an OpenClaw Gateway with configurable delta+throttle filtering per field; supports bidirectional command dispatch so bots can send vehicle commands back through the gateway
|
|
94
|
-
- **Trigger subscriptions** — register conditions on any telemetry field (battery < 20%, speed > 80, location enters geofence) and get notified via OpenClaw push events or MCP polling; supports one-shot and persistent modes with cooldown
|
|
95
|
-
- **MCP Server** — `tescmd serve` (or `tescmd mcp serve`) exposes all commands as MCP tools for Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and other agent frameworks via OAuth 2.1
|
|
96
|
-
- **Universal response caching** — all read commands are cached with tiered TTLs (1h for specs/warranty, 5m for fleet lists, 1m standard, 30s for location-dependent); bots can call tescmd as often as needed — within the TTL window, responses are instant and free
|
|
97
|
-
- **Cost-aware wake** — prompts before sending billable wake API calls; `--wake` flag for scripts that accept the cost
|
|
98
|
-
- **Guided OAuth2 setup** — `tescmd auth login` walks you through browser-based authentication with PKCE
|
|
99
|
-
- **Key management** — generate EC keys, register via Tesla Developer Portal (remote) or BLE enrollment (proximity)
|
|
100
|
-
- **Rich terminal output** — tables, panels, spinners powered by Rich; auto-detects TTY vs pipe
|
|
101
|
-
- **Configurable display units** — switch between PSI/bar, °F/°C, and mi/km (defaults to US units)
|
|
102
|
-
- **JSON output** — structured output for scripting and agent integration
|
|
103
|
-
- **Multi-profile** — switch between vehicles, accounts, and regions with named profiles
|
|
104
|
-
- **Agent-friendly** — deterministic JSON, meaningful exit codes, `--wake` opt-in, headless auth support
|
|
105
|

|
|
106
|
-
## Quick Start
|
|
107
|
-
|
|
108
|
-
```bash
|
|
109
|
-
pip install tescmd
|
|
110
|
-
tescmd setup
|
|
111
|
-
```
|
|
112
|
-
|
|
113
|
-
That's it. The interactive setup wizard walks you through everything: creating a Tesla Developer app, generating an EC key pair, hosting the public key (via GitHub Pages or Tailscale Funnel), registering with the Fleet API, authenticating via OAuth2, and enrolling your key on a vehicle. Each step checks prerequisites and offers remediation if something is missing.
|
|
114
|
-
|
|
115
|
-
After setup completes, you can start using commands:
|
|
116
|
-
|
|
117
|
-
```bash
|
|
118
|
-
tescmd charge status # Check battery and charging state
|
|
119
|
-
tescmd vehicle info # Full vehicle data snapshot
|
|
120
|
-
tescmd climate on --wake # Turn on climate (wakes vehicle if asleep)
|
|
121
|
-
tescmd security lock --wake # Lock the car
|
|
122
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... # MCP + telemetry TUI dashboard + CSV log
|
|
123
|
-
tescmd serve --no-mcp # Telemetry-only TUI dashboard
|
|
124
|
-
```
|
|
125
|
-
|
|
126
|
-
Every read command is cached — repeat calls within the TTL window are instant and free.
|
|
127
|
-
|
|
128
|
-
## Prerequisites
|
|
129
|
-
|
|
130
|
-
| Requirement | Required | What it is | Why tescmd needs it |
|
|
131
|
-
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
132
|
-
| **Python 3.11+** | Yes | The programming language runtime that runs tescmd | tescmd is a Python package — you need Python installed to use it |
|
|
133
|
-
| **pip** | Yes | Python's package installer (ships with Python) | Used to install tescmd and its dependencies via `pip install tescmd` |
|
|
134
|
-
| **Tesla account** | Yes | A [tesla.com](https://www.tesla.com) account linked to a vehicle or energy product | tescmd authenticates via OAuth2 against your Tesla account to access the Fleet API |
|
|
135
|
-
| **Git** | Yes | Version control tool ([git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com)) | Used during setup for key hosting via GitHub Pages |
|
|
136
|
-
| **GitHub CLI** (`gh`) | Recommended | GitHub's command-line tool ([cli.github.com](https://cli.github.com)) — authenticate with `gh auth login` | Auto-creates a `*.github.io` site to host your public key at the `.well-known` path Tesla requires |
|
|
137
|
-
| **Tailscale** | Recommended | Mesh VPN with public tunneling ([tailscale.com](https://tailscale.com)) — authenticate with `tailscale login` | Provides a public HTTPS URL for key hosting and Fleet Telemetry streaming with zero infrastructure setup |
|
|
138
|
-
|
|
139
|
-
### Self-Hosting with Tailscale (No Domain Required)
|
|
140
|
-
|
|
141
|
-
If you have **Tailscale** installed with Funnel enabled, you don't need a custom domain or GitHub Pages at all. Tailscale Funnel gives you a public HTTPS URL (`<machine>.tailnet.ts.net`) that serves both your public key and (optionally) Fleet Telemetry streaming — all from your local machine with zero infrastructure setup.
|
|
142
|
-
|
|
143
|
-
```bash
|
|
144
|
-
# Install Tailscale, enable Funnel in your tailnet ACL, then:
|
|
145
|
-
tescmd setup # wizard auto-detects Tailscale and offers it as the hosting method
|
|
146
|
-
```
|
|
147
|
-
|
|
148
|
-
This is the fastest path to a working setup: Tailscale handles TLS certificates, NAT traversal, and public DNS automatically. The tradeoff is that your machine needs to be running for Tesla to reach your key and for telemetry streaming to work. For always-on key hosting with offline machines, use GitHub Pages instead.
|
|
149
|
-
|
|
150
|
-
Without either GitHub CLI or Tailscale, you'll need to manually host your public key at the Tesla-required `.well-known` path on your own domain.

168
|
-
## Configuration
|
|
169
|
-
|
|
170
|
-
tescmd resolves settings in this order (highest priority first):
|
|
171
|
-
|
|
172
|
-
1. **CLI arguments** — `--vin`, `--region`, `--format`, `--units`, etc.
|
|
173
|
-
2. **Environment variables** — `TESLA_VIN`, `TESLA_REGION`, etc. (`.env` files loaded automatically)
|
|
174
|
-
3. **Defaults**
|
|
175
|
-
|
|
176
|
-
### Environment Variables
|
|
177
|
-
|
|
178
|
-
Create a `.env` file in your working directory or `~/.config/tescmd/.env`:
|
|
179
|
-
|
|
180
|
-
```dotenv
|
|
181
|
-
TESLA_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
|
|
182
|
-
TESLA_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
|
|
183
|
-
TESLA_VIN=5YJ3E1EA1NF000000
|
|
184
|
-
TESLA_REGION=na
|
|
185
|
-
|
|
186
|
-
# Token storage (optional — defaults to OS keyring with file fallback)
|
|
187
|
-
TESLA_TOKEN_FILE=~/.config/tescmd/tokens.json
|
|
188
|
-
|
|
189
|
-
# Cache settings (optional)
|
|
190
|
-
TESLA_CACHE_ENABLED=true
|
|
191
|
-
TESLA_CACHE_TTL=60
|
|
192
|
-
TESLA_CACHE_DIR=~/.cache/tescmd
|
|
193
|
-
|
|
194
|
-
# Command protocol: auto | signed | unsigned (optional)
|
|
195
|
-
TESLA_COMMAND_PROTOCOL=auto
|
|
196
|
-
|
|
197
|
-
# Display units (optional — defaults to US units)
|
|
198
|
-
TESLA_TEMP_UNIT=F # F or C
|
|
199
|
-
TESLA_DISTANCE_UNIT=mi # mi or km
|
|
200
|
-
TESLA_PRESSURE_UNIT=psi # psi or bar
|
|
201
|
-
```
|
|
202
|
-
|
|
203
|
-
## Token Storage
|
|
204
|
-
|
|
205
|
-
By default, tescmd stores OAuth tokens in the OS keyring (macOS Keychain, GNOME Keyring, Windows Credential Manager). On headless systems where no keyring daemon is available (Docker, CI, SSH sessions), tescmd automatically falls back to a file-based store at `~/.config/tescmd/tokens.json` with restricted permissions (`0600` on Unix, owner-only ACL on Windows).
|
|
206
|
-
|
|
207
|
-
You can force file-based storage by setting `TESLA_TOKEN_FILE`:
|
|
208
|
-
|
|
209
|
-
```bash
|
|
210
|
-
export TESLA_TOKEN_FILE=~/.config/tescmd/tokens.json
|
|
211
|
-
```
|
|
212
|
-
|
|
213
|
-
To transfer tokens between machines, use `auth export` and `auth import`:
|
|
214
|
-
|
|
215
|
-
```bash
|
|
216
|
-
# On source machine
|
|
217
|
-
tescmd auth export > tokens.json
|
|
218
|
-
|
|
219
|
-
# On target machine (Docker, CI, etc.)
|
|
220
|
-
tescmd auth import < tokens.json
|
|
221
|
-
```
|
|
222
|
-
|
|
223
|
-
Check which backend is active with `tescmd status` — the output includes a `Token store` line showing `keyring` or the file path.
|
|
224
|
-
|
|
225
|
-
> **Security note:** File-based tokens are stored as plaintext JSON. The file is created with owner-only permissions, but treat it like any other credential file.

### Global Flags
|
|
256
|
-
|
|
257
|
-
These flags can be placed at the root level or after any subcommand:
|
|
258
|
-
|
|
259
|
-
| Flag | Description |
|
|
260
|
-
|---|---|
|
|
261
|
-
| `--vin VIN` | Vehicle VIN (also accepted as a positional argument) |
|
|
262
|
-
| `--profile NAME` | Config profile name |
|
|
263
|
-
| `--format {rich,json,quiet}` | Force output format |
|
|
264
|
-
| `--quiet` | Suppress normal output |
|
|
265
|
-
| `--region {na,eu,cn}` | Tesla API region |
|
|
266
|
-
| `--verbose` | Enable verbose logging |
|
|
267
|
-
| `--no-cache` / `--fresh` | Bypass response cache for this invocation |
|
|
268
|
-
| `--wake` | Auto-wake vehicle without confirmation (billable) |
|
|
269
|
-
|
|
270
|
-
## Output Formats
|
|
271
|
-
|
|
272
|
-
tescmd auto-detects the best output format:
|
|
273
|
-
|
|
274
|
-
- **Rich** (default in TTY) — formatted tables, panels, colored status indicators
|
|
275
|
-
- **JSON** (`--format json` or piped) — structured, parseable output
|
|
276
|
-
- **Quiet** (`--quiet`) — minimal output on stderr, suitable for scripts that only check exit codes
|
|
277
|
-
|
|
278
|
-
```bash
|
|
279
|
-
# Human-friendly output
|
|
280
|
-
tescmd vehicle list
|
|
281
|
-
|
|
282
|
-
# JSON for scripting
|
|
283
|
-
tescmd vehicle list --format json
|
|
284
|
-
|
|
285
|
-
# Pipe-friendly (auto-switches to JSON)
|
|
286
|
-
tescmd vehicle list | jq '.[0].vin'
|
|
287
|
-
|
|
288
|
-
# Quiet mode (exit code only)
|
|
289
|
-
tescmd vehicle wake --quiet && echo "Vehicle is awake"
|
|
290
|
-
```
|
|
291
|
-
|
|
292
|
-
### Display Units
|
|
293
|
-
|
|
294
|
-
Rich output displays values in US units by default (°F, miles, PSI). Switch to metric with a single flag:
|
|
295
|
-
|
|
296
|
-
```bash
|
|
297
|
-
tescmd --units metric charge status # All metric: °C, km, bar
|
|
298
|
-
tescmd --units us charge status # All US: °F, mi, psi (default)
|
|
299
|
-
```
|
|
300
|
-
|
|
301
|
-
Or configure individual units via environment variables:
|
|
302
|
-
|
|
303
|
-
```dotenv
|
|
304
|
-
TESLA_TEMP_UNIT=C # F or C
|
|
305
|
-
TESLA_DISTANCE_UNIT=km # mi or km
|
|
306
|
-
TESLA_PRESSURE_UNIT=bar # psi or bar
|
|
307
|
-
```
|
|
308
|
-
|
|
309
|
-
| Dimension | US (default) | Metric | Env Variable |
|
|
310
|
-
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
311
|
-
| Temperature | °F | °C | `TESLA_TEMP_UNIT` |
|
|
312
|
-
| Distance | mi | km | `TESLA_DISTANCE_UNIT` |
|
|
313
|
-
| Pressure | psi | bar | `TESLA_PRESSURE_UNIT` |
|
|
314
|
-
|
|
315
|
-
The `--units` flag overrides all three env vars at once. The Tesla API returns Celsius, miles, and bar — conversions happen in the display layer only.
|
|
316
|
-
|
|
317
|
-
## Tesla Fleet API Costs
|
|
318
|
-
|
|
319
|
-
Tesla's Fleet API is **pay-per-use** — every request returning a status code below 500 is billable, including 4xx errors like "vehicle asleep" (408) and rate limits (429). Wake requests are the most expensive category and are rate-limited to 3/min. There is no free tier (the $10/month credit is being discontinued).
|
|
320
|
-
|
|
321
|
-
> **Official pricing:** [Tesla Fleet API — Billing and Limits](https://developer.tesla.com/docs/fleet-api/billing-and-limits)
|
|
322
|
-
|
|
323
|
-
### Why This Matters
|
|
324
|
-
|
|
325
|
-
A naive script that polls `vehicle_data` every 5 minutes generates **4-5 billable requests per check** (asleep error + wake + poll + data fetch). That's **1,000+ billable requests per day** from a single cron job. At roughly $1 per 500 data requests, monitoring one vehicle costs around $60/month before you even count wake requests (the most expensive tier).
|
|
326
|
-
|
|
327
|
-
### Cost Example: Battery Check
|
|
328
|
-
|
|
329
|
-
| | Without tescmd | With tescmd |
|
|
330
|
-
|---|---|---|
|
|
331
|
-
| Vehicle asleep, check battery | 408 error (billable) + wake (billable) + poll (billable) + data (billable) = **4+ requests** | Data attempt → 408 (billable) → prompt user → user wakes via Tesla app (free) → retry → data (billable) = **2 requests** |
|
|
332
|
-
| Check battery again 30s later | Another 4+ requests | **0 requests** (cache hit) |
|
|
333
|
-
| 10 checks in 1 minute | **40+ billable requests** | **1 billable request** + 9 cache hits |
|
|
334
|
-
|
|
335
|
-
### How tescmd Reduces Costs
|
|
336
|
-
|
|
337
|
-
tescmd implements four layers of cost protection:
|
|
338
|
-
|
|
339
|
-
1. **Universal read-command cache** — **all** read commands are cached with tiered TTLs: static data (specs, warranty) cached for 1 hour, fleet lists for 5 minutes, standard queries for 1 minute, location-dependent data for 30 seconds. Bots can call tescmd as often as needed — within the TTL, responses are instant and free.
|
|
340
|
-
2. **Smart wake state** — Tracks whether the vehicle was recently confirmed online (30s TTL). Skips redundant wake attempts.
|
|
341
|
-
3. **Wake confirmation prompt** — Prompts before sending billable wake calls in interactive mode. JSON/piped mode returns a structured error with `--wake` guidance.
|
|
342
|
-
4. **Write-command invalidation** — write commands automatically invalidate the relevant cache scope (vehicle or energy site) so subsequent reads reflect the new state.
|
|
343
|
-
|
|
344
|
-
```bash
|
|
345
|
-
# First call: hits API, caches response
|
|
346
|
-
tescmd charge status
|
|
347
|
-
|
|
348
|
-
# Second call within 60s: instant cache hit, no API call
|
|
349
|
-
tescmd charge status
|
|
350
|
-
|
|
351
|
-
# All read commands are cached — even vehicle list, user info, billing, etc.
|
|
352
|
-
tescmd vehicle list # cached 5 min
|
|
353
|
-
tescmd user me # cached 1 hour
|
|
354
|
-
tescmd vehicle specs # cached 1 hour
|
|
355
|
-
tescmd billing history # cached 1 min
|
|
356
|
-
|

# Bypass cache when you need fresh data
|
|
358
|
-
tescmd charge status --fresh
|
|
359
|
-
|
|
360
|
-
# Auto-wake without prompting (for scripts accepting the cost)
|
|
361
|
-
tescmd charge status --wake
|
|
362
|
-
|
|
363
|
-
# Manage cache
|
|
364
|
-
tescmd cache status # entry counts, disk usage
|
|
365
|
-
tescmd cache clear # clear all
|
|
366
|
-
tescmd cache clear --vin VIN # clear for one vehicle
|
|
367
|
-
tescmd cache clear --site 12345 # clear for an energy site
|
|
368
|
-
tescmd cache clear --scope account # clear account-level entries
|
|
369
|
-
```

## Fleet Telemetry Streaming
|
|
382
|
-
|
|
383
|
-
Tesla's Fleet Telemetry lets your vehicle push real-time data directly to your server — no polling, no per-request charges. tescmd handles all the setup:
|
|
384
|
-
|
|
385
|
-
```bash
|
|
386
|
-
# Full-screen TUI with live telemetry + MCP server
|
|
387
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3...
|
|
388
|
-
|
|
389
|
-
# Telemetry-only mode (full-screen TUI, no MCP)
|
|
390
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --no-mcp
|
|
391
|
-
|
|
392
|
-
# Select field presets
|
|
393
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --fields driving # Speed, location, power
|
|
394
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --fields charging # Battery, voltage, current
|
|
395
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --fields all # Everything (120+ fields)
|
|
396
|
-
|
|
397
|
-
# Override polling interval
|
|
398
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --interval 5 # Every 5 seconds
|
|
399
|
-
|
|
400
|
-
# JSONL output for scripting (non-TTY / piped)
|
|
401
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --no-mcp --format json | jq .
|
|
402
|
-
|
|
403
|
-
# Disable CSV log
|
|
404
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --no-log
|
|
405
|
-
|
|
406
|
-
# Legacy Rich Live dashboard
|
|
407
|
-
tescmd serve 5YJ3... --legacy-dashboard
|
|
408
|
-
```
|
|
409
|
-
|
|
410
|
-
**Requires Tailscale** with Funnel enabled. The serve command starts a local WebSocket server, exposes it via Tailscale Funnel (handles TLS + NAT traversal), configures Tesla to push data to it, and renders a full-screen TUI with live telemetry data, server info (MCP URL, tunnel, sinks), unit conversion, and connection status. Press `q` to quit.
|
|
411
|
-
|
|
412
|
-
By default, telemetry sessions write a wide-format CSV log to `~/.config/tescmd/logs/` with one row per frame and one column per subscribed field. Disable with `--no-log`.
|
|
413
|
-
|
|
414
|
-
`tescmd vehicle telemetry stream` is an alias for `tescmd serve --no-mcp`.
|
|
415
|
-
|
|
416
|
-
### Telemetry vs Polling Costs
|
|
417
|
-
|
|
418
|
-
| Approach | 1 vehicle, 5-second interval, 24 hours | Monthly cost estimate |
|
|
419
|
-
|---|---|---|
|
|
420
|
-
| **Polling `vehicle_data`** | ~17,280 requests × $0.001 = **$17/day** | **$500+/month** |
|
|
421
|
-
| **Fleet Telemetry streaming** | 1 config create + 1 config delete = **2 requests** | **< $0.01/month** |
|
|
422
|
-
|
|
423
|
-
Fleet Telemetry streaming is a flat-cost alternative: you pay only for the initial config setup and teardown, regardless of how much data flows. The tradeoff is that you need Tailscale running on a machine to receive the push.
|
|
424

|

425
|

## Key Enrollment & Vehicle Command Protocol
|
|
426
|
-
|
|
427
|
-
Newer Tesla vehicles require commands to be signed using the [Vehicle Command Protocol](https://github.com/teslamotors/vehicle-command). tescmd handles this transparently:
|
|
428
|
-
|
|
429
|
-
1. **Generate a key pair** — `tescmd key generate` creates an EC P-256 key pair
|
|
430
|
-
2. **Enroll on vehicle** — `tescmd key enroll <VIN>` sends the public key to the vehicle; approve in the Tesla app
|
|
431
|
-
3. **Commands are signed automatically** — once enrolled, tescmd uses ECDH sessions + HMAC-SHA256 to sign commands via the `signed_command` endpoint
|
|
432
|
-
|
|
433
|
-
```bash
|
|
434
|
-
# Generate EC key pair
|
|
435
|
-
tescmd key generate
|
|
436
|
-
|
|
437
|
-
# Enroll on a vehicle (interactive approval via Tesla app)
|
|
438
|
-
tescmd key enroll 5YJ3E1EA1NF000000
|
|
439
|
-
|
|
440
|
-
# Commands are now signed automatically
|
|
441
|
-
tescmd security lock --wake
|
|
442
|
-
```
|
|
443
|
-
|
|
444
|
-
The `command_protocol` setting controls routing:
|
|
445
|
-
|
|
446
|
-
| Value | Behavior |
|
|
447
|
-
|---|---|
|
|
448
|
-
| `auto` (default) | Use signed path when keys are enrolled; fall back to unsigned |
|
|
449
|
-
| `signed` | Require signed commands (error if no keys) |
|
|
450
|
-
| `unsigned` | Force legacy REST path (skip signing) |
|
|
451
|
-
|
|
452
|
-
Set via `TESLA_COMMAND_PROTOCOL` environment variable or in your config.
|
|
453
|
-
|
|
454
|
-
See [docs/vehicle-command-protocol.md](docs/vehicle-command-protocol.md) for the full protocol architecture.

## Agent Integration
|
|
457
|
-
|
|
458
|
-
tescmd is designed for use by AI agents and automation platforms. Agents like [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code), Claude Desktop, and other LLM-powered tools can invoke tescmd commands, parse the structured JSON output, and act on your behalf.
|
|
459
|
-
|
|
460
|
-
**Why tescmd works well as an agent tool:**
|
|
461
|
-
|
|
462
|
-
- **Structured JSON output** — piped/non-TTY mode automatically emits parseable JSON with consistent schema
|
|
463
|
-
- **Cost protection** — agents won't accidentally trigger billable wake calls without `--wake`; the default behavior is safe
|
|
464
|
-
- **Cache-aware** — every read command is cached; repeated queries from an agent within the TTL window cost nothing
|
|
465
|
-
- **Meaningful exit codes** — agents can branch on success/failure without parsing output
|
|
466
|
-
- **Stateless invocations** — each command is self-contained; no session state to manage
|
|
467
|
-
- **Signed commands** — when keys are enrolled, commands are signed transparently; no agent-side crypto needed
|
|
468
|
-
|
|
469
|
-
**Example agent workflow:**
|
|
470
|
-
|
|
471
|
-
```bash
|
|
472
|
-
# Agent checks battery (cache hit if recent)
|
|
473
|
-
tescmd charge status --format json
|
|
474
|
-
|
|
475
|
-
# Agent decides to start charging
|
|
476

### API Coverage Validation
|
|
506
|
-
|
|
507
|
-
tescmd ships a spec-driven validation utility that compares our implementation against the Tesla Fleet API. The canonical spec lives at `spec/fleet_api_spec.json` (sourced from Tesla's docs and Go SDK), and `scripts/validate_fleet_api.py` validates all API methods, parameters, and types using AST introspection.

|
508
|
-
|
|
509
|
-
```bash
|
|
510
|
-
python scripts/validate_fleet_api.py # Summary
|
|
511
|
-
python scripts/validate_fleet_api.py --verbose # All endpoints
|
|
512
|
-
python scripts/validate_fleet_api.py --json # Machine-readable
|
|
513
|
-
```
|
|
514
|
-
|
|
515
|
-
Run this periodically or after modifying API methods to catch drift.
