# AGW CLI

> Use AGW CLI as an agent-first interface to Abstract Global Wallet.

AGW CLI is an agent-first CLI for Abstract Global Wallet.

It gives an agent structured JSON input and output for wallet operations without exposing the wallet's private key to the agent runtime.

## What it can do

* read wallet address, balances, and token inventory
* preview and execute transactions
* sign messages and transactions
* write to contracts and deploy contracts
* discover apps on Abstract
* query Abstract Portal data
* serve the same capabilities over MCP

## Why use it

Use AGW CLI when you want:

* a CLI-first or MCP-first wallet integration
* preview-first writes with explicit execution
* session-key-style delegation through a companion approval flow
* schema introspection for agent tooling

## Relationship to AGW SDK docs

This section covers the agent workflow. For direct app integration with AGW SDKs, use the [`Abstract Global Wallet`](/abstract-global-wallet/overview) docs.

For the underlying session-key model, see [`Session keys`](/abstract-global-wallet/session-keys/overview).
