Programmatic usage

Nova provides programmatic command surfaces in addition to interactive terminal use. Their protocol contracts are release-specific and must be verified before integration.

​

Verify the supported surface

Inspect nova tools-rpc --help, nova a2a --help, nova agui --help, and nova openai --help for the installed version. Use documented structured messages rather than parsing human-readable terminal output.

​

Boundaries and safety

Programmatic access does not grant credentials or capabilities by itself. Host applications must provide configuration, enforce their own process boundaries, and avoid logging sensitive payloads.
