CLI-to-Agent bridge for existing tools
apexe is a high-performance bridge that wraps existing CLI tools into governed apcore modules. It enables AI agents to interact with legacy command-line applications through a structured, schema-enforced interface. By defining clear input and output contracts, apexe ensures that agent interactions with the local system are predictable, validatable, and secure. It features an approval system for sensitive commands, automated schema extraction from CLI help menus, and seamless integration with the broader apcore ecosystem including MCP and A2A protocols.
