name: teneo-protocol-cli description: Teneo Protocol CLI — discover and query AI agents, manage rooms, and handle x402 USDC micropayments. Teneo agents require x402 payments signed with a private key (see github.com/AIMadeScripts/teneo-agent-sdk). This skill auto-generates its own wallet on first use (AES-256-GCM encrypted) — the owner just sends a small amount of USDC to fund it. Funds can be withdrawn back to the original funder at any time. No user keys are ever requested. Connects to the Teneo Protocol backend (wss://backend.developer.chatroom.teneo-protocol.ai). SDK: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@teneo-protocol/sdk

SECURITY & PRIVACY DECLARATION

Why this skill needs a private key

Teneo Protocol agents use the x402 payment standard — every paid agent query requires a cryptographically signed USDC transaction. Without a private key, there is no way to sign these transactions and no way to pay agents. This is how the Teneo SDK works by design (see: Teneo Agent SDK on GitHub).

How this skill handles it safely

This skill never asks for or touches any existing user wallet.

Instead, on first use it auto-generates a brand new wallet and stores the private key encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) in ~/.teneo-wallet/. The owner simply sends a small amount of USDC to fund this auto-generated wallet — that's it.

The auto-generated key is encrypted with a separate master secret (both files have 0600 permissions)
Only cryptographic signatures are transmitted to the network — never the key itself
Withdrawals can only go back to the first address that funded the wallet (auto-detected from on-chain data, permanently locked)
The owner can withdraw all funds back to their wallet at any time via wallet-withdraw
This is standard Web3 practice, identical to how MetaMask or any hardware wallet works

Network connections

Connects to the Teneo Protocol backend at wss://backend.developer.chatroom.teneo-protocol.ai/ws via WebSocket for agent communication and x402 payments
This is the official Teneo Protocol endpoint (see: https://teneo.pro)
The SDK is published on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@teneo-protocol/sdk

Dependencies (all from npm public registry)

Purpose

Discover and query Teneo Protocol AI agents, manage rooms, and handle x402 USDC micropayments.

Teneo agents charge per query via the x402 payment standard — a private key is required to sign these USDC transactions (this is a protocol requirement, not a skill choice). This skill creates its own wallet automatically so no existing keys are ever needed.

How it works:

On first use, the skill auto-generates a new wallet (no setup needed)
The owner sends a small amount of USDC to the generated wallet address
The skill uses this wallet to sign x402 payments and authenticate with Teneo
At any time, the owner can withdraw all remaining funds back to their own wallet

The auto-generated wallet IS the Teneo identity. It handles both authentication (signing the WebSocket handshake) and payments (signing x402 USDC transactions). Without funds, paid commands will fail — but free commands and agent discovery always work.

IMPORTANT: Always Show Status Updates

Teneo commands can take 10-30+ seconds. Never leave the user staring at a blank screen. Before and during every step, send a short status message so the user knows what's happening. This is critical for user experience.

Example flow when a user asks "search @elonmusk on X":

🔍 Checking which agents are in the room... ✅ X Platform Agent is in the room. 💰 Requesting price quote for the search... 💳 Quote received: 0.05 USDC. Confirming payment... ⏳ Payment confirmed. Waiting for agent response... ✅ Here are the results:

Rules:

Before every CLI command, tell the user what you're about to do in plain language
After each step completes, confirm it before moving to the next step
If something takes more than a few seconds, send a "still waiting..." or "processing..." update
On errors, explain what went wrong and what you'll try next — don't just silently retry

Status messages for common operations:

Discovering agents → "🔍 Fetching the list of available agents on Teneo..."
Checking room → "📋 Checking which agents are in your room..."
Adding agent → "➕ Adding [agent] to your room..."
Getting quote → "💰 Requesting a price quote..."
Confirming payment → "💳 Confirming payment of X USDC..."
Waiting for response → "⏳ Waiting for the agent to respond..."
Searching handles → "🔍 Searching for that handle on [platform]..."
Wallet check → "👛 Checking your USDC balance..."

Never run multiple commands in silence. Each step should have a visible status update. The user should always know: what's happening right now, and what comes next.

IMPORTANT: Agent Discovery & Room Limits

Finding Agents

Teneo has many agents available across the entire network. Use these commands to discover them:

list-agents → shows ALL agents on the entire Teneo network with their IDs, commands, capabilities, and pricing. Always start here.
agent-details <agentId> → full details for one agent (commands with exact syntax + pricing)
room-agents <roomId> → shows agents currently IN your room

IMPORTANT: Agent IDs vs Display Names. Agents have an internal ID (e.g. x-agent-enterprise-v2) and a display name (e.g. "X Platform Agent"). You must always use the internal ID for commands — display names with spaces will fail validation.

Each agent's output includes its commands array with: trigger (the command name), argument (exact query format), description, and pricing (cost in USDC). The correct command format is: @{agentId} {trigger} {argument}

⚠️ Agent "Online" ≠ Reachable

An agent can show "status": "online" in agent-details but still be disconnected in your room. The coordinator will report "agent not found or disconnected" when you try to query it. This means:

Always test an agent with a cheap command first before relying on it
If an agent is disconnected, look for alternative agents that serve the same purpose (e.g. if messari is dead, coinmarketcap-agent can also provide crypto quotes)
Multiple agents often serve overlapping purposes — know your fallbacks

Pre-Query Checklist

Before every agent query, follow this checklist:

Get agent commands — run agent-details <agentId> to see exact command syntax and pricing. Never guess commands.
Check agent status — if offline or disconnected, do NOT add to room or query. Find an alternative.
Check room capacity — run room-agents <roomId> to see current agents (max 5). If full, remove one or create a new room.
Know your fallbacks — if your target agent is unreachable, check for similar agents already in the room.
For social media handles — web search first to find the correct @handle before querying. Wrong handles waste money.

Room Rules

Teneo organizes agents into rooms. You MUST understand these rules:

Maximum 5 agents per room. A room can hold at most 5 agents at a time.
You can only query agents that are in your room. If an agent is not in the room, commands to it will fail.
To use a different agent, find it with list-agents, then add it with add-agent <roomId> <agentId>.
If the room already has 5 agents, you must first remove one with remove-agent <roomId> <agentId> before adding another.
Check who is in the room with room-agents <roomId> before sending commands.

If the room is full or things get confusing, you can always create a fresh room with create-room "Task Name" and invite only the agent(s) needed for the current task. This keeps things clean and avoids swapping.

Always communicate this to the user. When a user asks to use an agent that is not in the room, explain:

Which agents are currently in the room (and that the limit is 5)
That the requested agent needs to be added first
If the room is full, offer two options: remove an agent to make space, or create a new room for the task
Ask the user to confirm before making changes

Example message to user:

"Your room has 5 agents: [list]. To use [requested agent], I can either remove one or create a new room. What do you prefer?"

Note: Always verify commands with agent-details <agentId> — agents may update their commands. The above is a reference, not a guarantee.

One-Time Setup

Before first use, run these commands to set up the Teneo CLI tool:

mkdir -p ~/teneo-skill && cd ~/teneo-skill && npm init -y && NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=512" npm install --prefer-offline @teneo-protocol/sdk@3.1.1 commander@12.1.0 dotenv@16.4.5 viem@2.21.5 pino-pretty

Then create the CLI script by writing the following content to ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js:

#!/usr/bin/env node

/**
 * Teneo Protocol CLI
 * SECURITY: Auto-generates a new wallet on first use. Never asks for existing keys.

Make the script executable:

chmod +x ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js

Alternative: Extract teneo.js from this skill file automatically:

sed -n '/```javascript/,/```$/p' skill.md | head -n -1 | tail -n +2 > ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js && chmod +x ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js

Wallet & Authentication

No setup required. On first use, the skill auto-generates a new wallet, encrypts the key (AES-256-GCM), and stores it at ~/.teneo-wallet/wallet.json. The wallet address is printed so you know where to send USDC.

The auto-generated key serves two purposes:

Authentication — signs the WebSocket handshake to prove identity on Teneo
Payment — signs x402 USDC transactions to pay agents

If the wallet has no USDC, paid commands will fail. Fund the wallet first.

Advanced (optional): If you already have a dedicated bot wallet, you can set TENEO_PRIVATE_KEY in the environment. The skill will use it instead of auto-generating. Most users should just use the auto-generated wallet.

Wallet Management Commands

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js wallet-init            # Generate wallet (auto-called on first use)
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js wallet-address          # Show public address
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js wallet-balance          # Check USDC balance on all chains
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js wallet-balance --chain base  # Check balance on specific chain
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js wallet-detect-funder    # Detect & lock the first address that sent USDC
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js wallet-withdraw 5.00 base   # Withdraw USDC to funder address ONLY
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js wallet-export-key       # Export private key (handle with care!)

Safety: Auto-Detected Funder Lock

The first address that sends USDC to this wallet is automatically detected and permanently locked as the funder
wallet-withdraw can ONLY send funds back to this locked funder address
There is no --to flag and no way to manually set the funder — it is always auto-detected from on-chain data
Once locked, the funder address cannot be changed
Detection happens automatically on first withdrawal, or manually via wallet-detect-funder

Wallet Security

Private key encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM
Master secret and wallet data in separate files (leaking one is useless without the other)
Both files have 0600 permissions (owner-only read/write)
Key NEVER logged, transmitted, or included in any API call

Optional environment variables

TENEO_WS_URL — WebSocket endpoint (default: wss://backend.developer.chatroom.teneo-protocol.ai/ws)
TENEO_DEFAULT_ROOM — Default room ID (so you don't need --room every time)
TENEO_DEFAULT_CHAIN — Default payment chain: base, avax, peaq, or xlayer (default: base)

How to Use

All commands are run as:

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js <command> [options]

Health Check

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js health

List ALL Agents on Teneo Network

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js list-agents    # ALL agents with IDs, commands + pricing

Agent Details

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js agent-details <agentId>   # e.g. agent-details x-agent-enterprise-v2

Direct Agent Command

# Use the INTERNAL agent ID (not display name). Format: command <agentId> "<trigger> <argument>"
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js command "x-agent-enterprise-v2" "user @okx" --room <roomId>
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js command "weather-agent-v1" "forecast New York" --room <roomId> --chain base

Note: The send command (auto-routing) is disabled on the backend (returns 503). Always use command with a specific agent ID.

Request Quote (No Execution)

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js quote "Analyze market trends" --room <roomId>

Confirm & Pay

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js confirm <taskId> --room <roomId>

Room Management

node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js rooms
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js owned-rooms
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js shared-rooms
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js create-room "Research Lab" --description "Crypto research" --public
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js update-room <roomId> --name "New Name"
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js delete-room <roomId>
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js room-agents <roomId>
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js add-agent <roomId> <agentId>
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js remove-agent <roomId> <agentId>
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js subscribe <roomId>
node ~/teneo-skill/teneo.js unsubscribe <roomId>

Output Format

All commands return JSON to stdout. Errors return {"error": "message"} to stderr.

Typical Workflow

Ensure wallet is funded — run wallet-balance to check USDC. If empty, tell the user your wallet address (wallet-address) and ask them to send USDC. Paid commands will not work without funds.
Check your room — run room-agents <roomId> to see which agents are in your room (max 5)
Discover ALL agents — run list-agents to see every agent on the Teneo network, their internal IDs, commands, and pricing
Add agents to your room — use add-agent <roomId> <agentId> to add agents you need (remove one first if room is full)
Verify the agent is reachable — an agent can show "online" but be disconnected. Test with a cheap command first.
Send a command: command "<agentId>" "<trigger> <argument>" --room <room> — always use the internal agent ID, not the display name
For manual payment flow: First quote to see the price, then confirm with the taskId. Note: command with autoApprove: true handles payment automatically.
Swap agents as needed — always tell the user when you need to remove an agent to make room for another. If an agent is dead, find an alternative.
Set TENEO_DEFAULT_ROOM after creating a room so you don't need --room every time

Searching for Users / Handles on Platforms

When a user asks to look up a social media account, there are two paths:

With `@` handle (direct query)

If the user provides an exact handle with @ (e.g. @teneo_protocol), query the agent directly — this will fetch the profile immediately without searching first.

Without `@` (web search first, then query)

If the user provides a name without @ (e.g. "teneo protocol"), you must find the correct handle first. Never guess handles — wrong handles waste money ($0.001 each) and return wrong data.

Step 1: Web search to find the correct handle. Tell the user:

"🔍 Searching the web for the correct handle..."

Use a web search (not the Teneo agent) to find the official handle. Look for:

The most prominent result (highest followers, verified badge)
Official website links that confirm the handle
Be careful of impostor/dead accounts with similar names

Real example: Searching for "teneo protocol twitter" returns:

@TENEOprotocol — 120 followers, dead account ❌
@teneo_protocol — 303K followers, active, official ✅

Always pick the most prominent, verified, active account.

Step 2: Check for handle changes. Sometimes an account's bio says "we are now @newhandle on X" (e.g. @peaqnetwork → @peaq). If you see this, use the new handle.

Step 3: Query with the confirmed handle.

"✅ Found the handle: @teneo_protocol. Now querying their profile..."

Always tell the user on first use: Using @handle (e.g. @teneo_protocol) queries directly and is faster. Without the @, I need to search the web first to find the right handle.

Additional tips

Check the agent's available commands with agent-details <agentId> to see the correct syntax
If a query fails, try the opposite format: with @ if you tried without, or without if you tried with @
Some agents only accept handles, others accept search terms — check the command's argument field

Payment Chains

Supported blockchains for USDC payments:

base — Ethereum L2 (default)
avax — Avalanche
peaq — PEAQ network
xlayer — XLayer (OKX L2)

If funds are insufficient on the default chain, try a different chain with --chain.

Known Issues & Workarounds

These are real-world issues discovered in production. They are already handled in the code/docs above, but documented here so you understand why things work the way they do.

OOM on small instances. npm install gets killed on low-memory VMs. Fix: use NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=512" and --prefer-offline during install.
Missing pino-pretty dependency. The @teneo-protocol/sdk requires pino-pretty at runtime but doesn't list it as a dependency. Must install explicitly.
sdk.getAgents() returns empty. The SDK's built-in method doesn't work for regular users. Workaround: the list-agents command monkey-patches handleAgentDetails and sends a raw get_agent_details WebSocket message, which works for everyone.
getAgentDetails() hangs forever. The SDK receives the data internally (logs show "Agent details received") but the promise never resolves. Workaround: monkey-patch sdk.agents.handleAgentDetails to intercept the response.
sendDirectCommand silently fails without payments. Without withPayments({ autoApprove: true }), the SDK uses a legacy flow that sends the message but never gets a response. Always enable payments.
AI coordinator is disabled. sendMessage() (auto-routing) returns 503. Only direct @agent commands work. Do NOT use the send command.
Agent IDs with spaces fail. The SDK's AgentIdSchema only allows [a-zA-Z0-9_-]. Always use the internal agent ID (e.g. x-agent-enterprise-v2), never the display name (e.g. "X Platform Agent").
confirmQuote resolves before agent response. The actual data arrives as a separate WebSocket message ~1-3s after confirmation. The code adds a wait to capture it.
available-agents / listAvailableAgents() triggers protocol errors. Returns agent_owner_wallets unknown message type due to SDK/backend version mismatch. Use room-agents to see what's in a room.
agent_owner_wallets unknown message type. The backend sends this message on every room operation, causing Zod validation errors in the SDK. This is non-fatal noise from a protocol version mismatch between SDK 3.1.1 and the current backend. Ignore it.
Agents can be "online" but disconnected. An agent may show "status": "online" in agent-details but the coordinator reports "agent not found or disconnected" when queried. Always test with a cheap command first. If disconnected, find an alternative agent.
Multiple agents serve overlapping purposes. If your target agent is offline/disconnected, check for alternatives already in the room. Example: messari was dead but coinmarketcap-agent could provide crypto quotes.
Wrong social handles waste money. Never guess a handle — web search first. Example: @TENEOprotocol (120 followers, dead) vs @teneo_protocol (303K followers, real). Each wrong query costs ~$0.001.
