Truefoundry Onboard

TrueFoundry Onboarding

Get the user to one stable state:

1. They have a TrueFoundry tenant URL.
2. The TrueFoundry CLI is installed.
3. tfy login --host <tenant-url> has completed.
4. Other TrueFoundry skills can run against that tenant.

Stop after CLI login verification. Operational setup belongs to the other TrueFoundry skills.

Flow

Step 1: Check CLI Installation

The first check is the CLI version. This tells you whether the TrueFoundry Python package and tfy entrypoint are installed.

Run:

tfy --version 2>/dev/null

If this fails, install the CLI:

pip install 'truefoundry==0.5.0'

If pip is unavailable and uv exists, use:

uv tool install --python 3.12 'truefoundry==0.5.0'

Then rerun:

tfy --version

Do not guess common status/config commands. tfy whoami, tfy show-config, tfy status, and tfy config ... are invalid for this CLI.

Step 2: Check Existing Login

After tfy --version works, check whether CLI login is already present:

python3 - <<'PY'
import json
from pathlib import Path

path = Path.home() / ".truefoundry" / "credentials.json"
try:
    data = json.loads(path.read_text())
except Exception:
    data = {}

host = data.get("host") or data.get("base_url") or ""
token = data.get("access_token") or data.get("refresh_token") or ""
if host and token:
    print(f"tfy login: ok ({host})")
else:
    print("tfy login: missing")
PY

If login is already present, tell the user the tenant host and stop. The next requested TrueFoundry skill can continue.

Step 3: Get Tenant URL If Login Is Missing

If the login check prints tfy login: missing, say:

Looks like the tenant is not set or CLI login is not done.
If you have not already, create an account at https://www.truefoundry.com/register, complete the onboarding/signup flow, and paste your tenant URL here.

Accept a full tenant URL, for example:

https://acme.truefoundry.cloud

Use browser registration only for new tenants.

Step 4: Login

After the user provides the tenant URL, ask them to complete interactive login:

tfy login --host "<tenant-url>"

The command may open a browser. Wait for the user to confirm it succeeded. This sets the CLI host and stores CLI credentials on the machine.

Step 5: Verify

Run the login check from Step 2 again.

If it prints tfy login: ok (...), onboarding is complete. Report:

TrueFoundry CLI login is complete for <tenant-url>.
You can now use the other TrueFoundry skills. CLI-based flows should work from here.

If it still prints missing, ask the user to rerun tfy login --host <tenant-url> and paste any error message.

After Onboarding — What NOT to Do

Once tfy login succeeds:

• Do NOT probe for verification commands (tfy whoami, tfy show-config, tfy config get, tfy get workspace, tfy status) — they don't exist.
• Do NOT re-verify by fetching READMEs or documentation.
• The single valid verification is the credentials.json check above. If that passes, login is done.
• Direct REST helper calls via tfy-api.sh may still require TFY_API_KEY; do not claim that a separate API key exists unless it is actually set.
• If the user immediately asks a follow-up like "what models are attached?", the answer is one API call: $TFY_API_SH GET /api/svc/v1/provider-accounts. Go straight there.

• The user has a tenant URL.
• tfy --version works.
• ~/.truefoundry/credentials.json contains a host plus access or refresh token.
• The agent does not configure anything beyond CLI login.

CLI Not Found After Install

Ask the user to open a new terminal, or add the CLI install location to PATH.

Login Opens Browser But Does Not Finish

Ask the user to retry:

tfy login --host "<tenant-url>"

Then collect the exact error message.

Wrong Tenant

Run login again with the intended tenant:

tfy login --host "<correct-tenant-url>"
