Versions:
SailPoint CLI is a terminal-based command-line tool published by SailPoint Technologies, currently available in version 2.5.0 with four versions released to date. Designed to simplify programmatic interaction with SailPoint's SaaS platform, the CLI enables users to communicate directly with their Identity Security Cloud (ISC) tenant from the command line with minimal setup. The tool falls within the identity governance and administration category, specifically serving as a developer and administrator utility for managing identity security operations. Its core purpose is to provide a text-based environment in which users run operations known as commands to interact with their tenant in whatever manner suits their workflow. A primary use case is replacing manual approaches that previously required tools such as Postman or custom-built scripts; instead of assembling API calls in an external HTTP client or writing and maintaining bespoke automation code, administrators and developers can invoke the SailPoint APIs directly from the terminal to perform a wide range of actions within their ISC tenant. This makes the CLI well suited for tasks such as scripting routine administrative operations, testing API behavior during development, automating identity management workflows, and quickly executing ad hoc requests against tenant resources. Because the tool is terminal-based, it integrates naturally into shell environments and can be incorporated into broader automation pipelines or operational runbooks. The existence of four released versions indicates ongoing development and refinement of the tool's capabilities, with version 2.5.0 representing the current release. Overall, SailPoint CLI streamlines day-to-day interaction with Identity Security Cloud by consolidating API-driven operations into a single, lightweight command-line interface, reducing the overhead associated with configuring external tools while preserving the flexibility needed to perform virtually any supported action within a SailPoint ISC tenant.
