# Run Inference.sh AI Apps from Agents

Agents often need a consistent way to find and run hosted AI apps. This skill teaches the inference.sh CLI workflow for discovery, inputs, execution, and task results.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add inference-skills/agent-tools

## Capabilities

- Explains inference.sh CLI installation, login, and API key authentication workflows.
- Lists, searches, filters, and inspects hosted AI apps by category or query.
- Runs hosted apps with inline input or saved input files through belt app run.
- Shows local media path uploads for image, video, audio, and social workflows.
- Tracks long-running tasks and retrieves results with belt task get.
- Points to related skills for images, video, LLMs, search, avatars, and Twitter/X automation.

## Use Cases

- Prototype multimodal AI workflows: Find image, video, audio, search, and LLM apps, then run quick tests from one CLI workflow.
- Automate agent media tasks: Use hosted generation and processing apps for images, videos, captions, avatars, and local media inputs.
- Inspect app schemas before execution: List available apps, review required inputs, generate samples, and track task results before production use.

## Prompt Templates

### Find an app

```
Find inference.sh apps for image generation. Show the most relevant options and explain which one fits a fast prototype.
```

### Prepare a run

```
Get the required inputs for the selected inference.sh app and prepare a concise run plan. Ask before using any local file path.
```

### Run and track a task

```
Run the chosen inference.sh app with my approved inputs, then track the task until the result is available.
```

### Build a workflow

```
Design a multi-step inference.sh workflow that uses search, an LLM, and media generation. Include approval points for uploads and external account actions.
```

## Limitations

- Requires the inference.sh CLI and an authenticated account.
- Cloud app runs may consume account credits or quota.
- Local file paths can be uploaded to hosted apps when used as inputs.
- Does not audit third-party app behavior beyond the published CLI schema.

## Best Practices

- Review each local file path before allowing the CLI to upload it.
- Use sample inputs and app schema details before running expensive tasks.
- Confirm social media, deployment, and account-changing actions before execution.

## Anti Patterns

- Piping remote installers to a shell without independent verification.
- Putting API keys or account secrets directly into shared prompts or logs.
- Running posting, upload, or deployment commands without explicit approval.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-06T14:27:28.566\+00:00
- Summary: Several markdown links and secret references are benign documentation, but the skill contains real high-risk installation and execution patterns. Confirmed issues include pipe-to-shell installers, remote manifest command substitution, PATH installation of a downloaded binary, broad belt CLI execution, automatic local file uploads, and authenticated social media actions. No prompt injection attempt was found in the reviewed files.
