Helps you work with Palantir Foundry using the pltr CLI. Use this when you need to query datasets, manage orchestration builds, work with ontologies, run SQL queries, manage folders/spaces/projects, copy datasets, or perform admin operations in Foundry. Triggers: Foundry, pltr, dataset, SQL query, ontology, build, schedule, RID.
This skill helps you use the pltr-cli to interact with Palantir Foundry effectively.
pltr-cli is a comprehensive CLI with 100+ commands for:
The Foundry API is RID-based (Resource Identifier). Most commands require RIDs:
ri.foundry.main.dataset.{uuid}ri.compass.main.folder.{uuid} (root: ri.compass.main.folder.0)ri.orchestration.main.build.{uuid}ri.orchestration.main.schedule.{uuid}ri.ontology.main.ontology.{uuid}Users must know RIDs in advance (from Foundry web UI or previous API calls).
Before using any command, ensure authentication is configured:
# Configure interactively
pltr configure configure
# Or use environment variables
export FOUNDRY_TOKEN="your-token"
export FOUNDRY_HOST="foundry.company.com"
# Verify connection
pltr verify
All commands support multiple output formats:
pltr <command> --format table # Default: Rich table
pltr <command> --format json # JSON output
pltr <command> --format csv # CSV format
pltr <command> --output file.csv # Save to file
Use --profile to switch between Foundry instances:
pltr <command> --profile production
pltr <command> --profile development
