name: cargo-storage
description: "Work with the data inside a Cargo workspace — models (Companies, Contacts, Deals…), datasets, columns, relationships, records, and SQL over workspace storage. Triggers: \"what models do I have\", \"show me the schema\", \"add a column for\", \"how many contacts do I have\", \"SELECT … FROM\", \"query my companies table\", \"join contacts to companies\", \"what is the DDL\", \"set up a webhook-fed model\", \"where does this field live\", \"import this into a model\", \"unify these models\", \"merge duplicate accounts\", \"link contacts to companies\", \"set up a relationship between\". Skip when: querying run or batch telemetry rather than business data — use cargo-orchestration; naming a reusable filtered audience — use cargo-segmentation."

# Cargo CLI — Storage

Data layer management: inspecting and modifying models, datasets, columns, relationships, unification, and records, and running SQL queries against workspace storage.

> See `references/response-shapes.md` for full JSON response structures.
> See `references/troubleshooting.md` for common errors and how to fix them.
> See `references/examples/models.md` for model CRUD, DDL inspection, and schema discovery examples.
> See `references/examples/datasets.md` for dataset listing and navigation examples.
> See `references/examples/columns.md` for column creation and management examples.
> See `references/examples/queries.md` for `storage query execute` / `storage query download` SQL examples (WHERE, aggregations, joins, pagination, exports).
> See `references/examples/ingest-webhook.md` for ingest (webhook-fed) models — deriving the webhook URL and POSTing records.

## Bootstrap

Already signed in (`cargo-ai whoami` returns a workspace)? Skip to the next section.

```bash
npm install -g @cargo-ai/cli            # no global install? prefix every command with `npx @cargo-ai/cli`
cargo-ai login --email [email protected]  # emailed code, no browser; creates the account on first use
                                        # alternatives: --oauth (browser) · --token <api-token> (CI)
cargo-ai whoami                         # confirm the active workspace before any write
```

Every command prints JSON to stdout; failures exit non-zero with `{"errorMessage": "..."}`. Anything that creates a run or a batch is async — pass `--wait-until-finished` or poll the matching `get`. When the full skill bundle is installed, [`../cargo/references/prerequisites.md`](../cargo/references/prerequisites.md) adds the CLI version pin, token scopes, and the admin-only surface.

## Discover resources first

Always list before inspecting or modifying.

```bash
cargo-ai storage dataset list              # all datasets (uuid, slug)
cargo-ai storage model list                # all models (uuid, name, slug, columns, datasetUuid)
# `model list` takes no flags — filter its output instead:
cargo-ai storage model list | jq '[.models[] | select(.datasetUuid == "<uuid>")]' 
```

**Retrieve in the UI:** models live at `app.getcargo.io/workspaces/<WORKSPACE_UUID>/models/<MODEL_UUID>`. Get `<WORKSPACE_UUID>` from `cargo-ai whoami` under `workspace.uuid`.

## Quick reference

cargo-ai storage model list
cargo-ai storage model get <model-uuid>
cargo-ai storage model get-ddl <model-uuid>
cargo-ai storage dataset list
cargo-ai storage column list --model-uuid <uuid>
cargo-ai storage relationship list
