Running a query or action: jadpo call

Where Rails has an interactive rails console, Jadpo has a one-shot command. jadpo call runs one query or action against your local database as a caller you name, with JSON in and out, so your agent can script it.

$ jadpo call todos_for_owner --as 0192…a7 --input '{"owner_id":"0192…a7"}'{"items":[{"id":"0192…f1","title":"Buy milk"}],"next":null}$ jadpo call complete_todo --as 0192…a7 --input '{"todo_id":"0192…f1"}' --rollback{"id":"0192…f1","completed_at":"2026-10-12T09:20:00Z"}rolled back

Policy always applies

--as <user id> signs in as that user, through the same principal, the record of who is calling, that a route would build (The principal). Without --as, the caller is someone who isn't signed in. Nothing switches policy off, so what works here also works through a route.

Writes, on your machine only

An action may write. --rollback runs it inside a transaction and then rolls the transaction back, like Rails' --sandbox. As with seeds, jadpo call refuses to run against any environment marked production.

Every call is recorded in the timeline, so jadpo trace and jadpo why work on it.
