# Use the Command Line Interface
Cortex XSOAR enables you to run system commands, integration commands, automations, and more, from an integrated command line interface (CLI). With the CLI’s auto-complete feature, you can easily find relevant commands, scripts, and arguments. The CLI is available throughout Cortex XSOAR, with the exception of the Marketplace and while editing Playbooks.
{% hint style="info" %}
### Note
When entering a command in the CLI, you can use the up/down arrow buttons to do a reverse history search for previous commands with the same prefix.
{% endhint %}
You can run various commands in the CLI, by typing the following:
* **`!`**: Integration commands, automations, and built-in commands. For example, add evidence, assign an analyst, etc.
* **`/`**: System commands/operations. For example, add notes, close an investigation, etc.
* **`@`**: User tagging. Send notifications to administrators, teams, analysts, etc.
Example:
To run the print script with a value of hello and the key `a` from the context:
**`!Print value="hello ${a}"`**
To explicitly use the following characters, place them within single or double quotes. An escape character \ is not required.
**`&&, ||, !, {, }, [, ], (, ), ~, *, ?`**
To explicitly use the following characters, place them within single or double quotes and use an escape character **`\`**.
\*\*`\, \n, \t, \r, ", ^, :,` \*\*comma, and space
When writing a query or complex text in the CLI, we strongly recommend enclosing your text with the backtick (\`) character. Text within the backticks does not require you to escape single quotation marks ('), double quotation marks ('') or backslashes (\\.
Examples:
To run the searchIncidentv2 script with query of all **myfield** that equals "this is a test" using escape characters:
**`!SearchIncidentsV2 query="myfield:\"this is a test\""`**
To run the same query using backticks:
**`` !SearchIncidentsV2 query=`myfield:"this is a test"` ``**
To run the Python command returning Hello World using escape characters:
**`!py script="demisto.results(\"hello world\")"`**
To run the Python command returning Hello World using backticks:
**`` !py script=`demisto.results("hello world")` ``**
{% hint style="info" %}
### Note
(Multi-tenant) - The CLI is not available from the main account in a multi-tenant deployment. You can, however, [run commands across multiple tenants](/cortex-xsoar-6-multi-tenant-guides/6.14/configure-multi-tenant/configure-the-multi-tenant-deployment/run-a-command-on-multiple-tenants.md) from the main account.
{% endhint %}
#### Common Arguments
The following common arguments are available for every script run from the CLI.
| Argument Name | Description |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| auto-extract | Decides whether/when to extract indicators.
Possible values:
- inline - Extract indicators within the indicator extraction run context (synchronously).
- outOfBand - Extract indicators in parallel (asynchronously) to other actions.
- none - Do not extract indicators (recommended for scripts with large outputs when indicator extraction is not required).
|
| execution-password | Supplies a password to run a password protected automation. |
| execution-timeout | Defines how long a command waits in seconds before it times out. |
| extend-context | Select which information from the raw JSON you want to add to the context data.
For a single value: contextKey=RawJsonOutputPath
For multiple values: contextKey1=RawJsonOutputPath1::contextKey2=RawJsonOutputPath2
|
| ignore-outputs | Possible values: **true** or **false**. If set to **true**, will not store outputs into the context (besides extended context). |
| raw-response | Possible values: **true** or **false**. If set to **true**, returns the raw JSON result from the script. |
| retry-count | Determines how many times the script attempts to run before generating an error. |
| retry-interval | Determines the wait time (in seconds) between each execution of the script. |
| using | Selects which integration instance runs the command. |
| using-brand | Selects which integration runs the command. If the selected integration has multiple instances, the script may run multiple times. Use the **using** argument to select a single integration instance. |
| using-category | Selects which category of integrations runs the command. If the selected category includes multiple integration instances, the script may run multiple times. Use the **using** argument to select a single integration instance. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/xsoar-6-administrator-guide/6.13/learn-about-cortex-xsoar/get-started-in-cortex-xsoar/use-the-command-line-interface.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
