Summary

agents resource add only supports a fixed set of CLI flags (--path, --branch, --image, --container-id, --mount, --clone-into). Database resource types (postgres, mysql, duckdb) define type-specific CLI args (--host, --port, --dbname, --user, --password, --connection-string) in their type definitions, but these flags are not exposed by the CLI. Attempting to use them results in a crash.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines agents resource add as:

agents resource add [--description <DESC>] [--update] <TYPE> <NAME> [type-specific-flags...]

The [type-specific-flags...] should be dynamically resolved from the resource type's cli_args definition. For postgres:

--connection-string (optional)
--host (optional, default: localhost)
--port (optional, default: 5432)
--dbname (optional)
--user (optional)
--password (optional)

Actual Behavior

$ agents resource add postgres local/test-pg --host localhost --port 5432 --dbname testdb
# Error: Wrapping unexpected exception: NoSuchOption: No such option: --host
# Error [500] INTERNAL: An unexpected error occurred

The command crashes with an unhandled exception instead of a user-friendly error.

Steps to Reproduce

# Try to add a postgres resource with type-specific args
agents resource add postgres local/my-db --host localhost --port 5432 --dbname mydb --user admin

# Try to add a duckdb resource with path
agents resource add duckdb local/my-duckdb --path /tmp/my.duckdb

# Try to add a mysql resource with connection string
agents resource add mysql local/my-mysql --connection-string mysql://user:pass@host:3306/db

All of the above fail with NoSuchOption errors.

Root Cause

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py, the resource_add() command has a hardcoded set of options and does not dynamically load type-specific CLI args from the resource type's cli_args definition. The DatabaseResourceHandler and POSTGRES_TYPE_DEF/MYSQL_TYPE_DEF/DUCKDB_TYPE_DEF in src/cleveragents/resource/handlers/database.py define the correct CLI args, but the CLI layer ignores them.

The resource_add command only handles:

--path / -p
--branch / -b
--image
--container-id
--mount
--clone-into

Missing for database types:

--connection-string
--host
--port
--dbname
--user
--password

Impact

Blocking: Database resources (postgres, mysql, duckdb) cannot be registered via the CLI with their connection parameters
Spec violation: The [type-specific-flags...] contract is not implemented for database types
Crash: Unhandled exception instead of user-friendly error message

Workaround

None available via CLI. Database resources can only be added without connection parameters (which makes them non-functional).

Environment

Tested on: /app (cleveragents-core, master branch)
Python 3.13.3
Reproduced: 2026-04-09

## Summary `agents resource add` only supports a fixed set of CLI flags (`--path`, `--branch`, `--image`, `--container-id`, `--mount`, `--clone-into`). Database resource types (`postgres`, `mysql`, `duckdb`) define type-specific CLI args (`--host`, `--port`, `--dbname`, `--user`, `--password`, `--connection-string`) in their type definitions, but these flags are not exposed by the CLI. Attempting to use them results in a crash. ## Expected Behavior (from spec) The spec defines `agents resource add` as: ``` agents resource add [--description <DESC>] [--update] <TYPE> <NAME> [type-specific-flags...] ``` The `[type-specific-flags...]` should be dynamically resolved from the resource type's `cli_args` definition. For `postgres`: - `--connection-string` (optional) - `--host` (optional, default: localhost) - `--port` (optional, default: 5432) - `--dbname` (optional) - `--user` (optional) - `--password` (optional) ## Actual Behavior ```bash $ agents resource add postgres local/test-pg --host localhost --port 5432 --dbname testdb # Error: Wrapping unexpected exception: NoSuchOption: No such option: --host # Error [500] INTERNAL: An unexpected error occurred ``` The command crashes with an unhandled exception instead of a user-friendly error. ## Steps to Reproduce ```bash # Try to add a postgres resource with type-specific args agents resource add postgres local/my-db --host localhost --port 5432 --dbname mydb --user admin # Try to add a duckdb resource with path agents resource add duckdb local/my-duckdb --path /tmp/my.duckdb # Try to add a mysql resource with connection string agents resource add mysql local/my-mysql --connection-string mysql://user:pass@host:3306/db ``` All of the above fail with `NoSuchOption` errors. ## Root Cause In `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py`, the `resource_add()` command has a hardcoded set of options and does not dynamically load type-specific CLI args from the resource type's `cli_args` definition.

MoSCoW classification: MoSCoW/Must have

Rationale: agents resource add not supporting type-specific CLI args for database resource types (postgres, mysql, duckdb) is a critical gap. The spec defines agents resource add as accepting type-specific flags. Without --host, --port, --dbname, --user, --password, --connection-string, users cannot add database resources via CLI. The database resource types are defined in the resource registry but are completely unusable from the CLI. This is a Must Have for any milestone that includes database resource support.

Also adding Points/5 — L — Implementing dynamic type-specific CLI arg generation from resource type definitions requires careful work with the CLI framework, estimated 1-2 days.
