Structured Help

Use --help --json on any command to get the command tree as structured JSON — useful for AI agents and tooling that need to discover CLI capabilities programmatically:

teams --help --json          # Full command tree with version
teams app --help --json      # Subtree for 'app'
teams app rsc --help --json  # Subtree for 'app rsc'

Interactive vs Scripted

Most commands work in two modes:

• Interactive — omit the [appId] argument and the CLI presents a searchable app picker. Subcommands like app and app manifest show action menus.
• Scripted — pass [appId] and all required flags directly for CI/CD or automation. Use --json where available for structured output.

Set TEAMS_NO_INTERACTIVE=1 to disable interactive prompts entirely.
