summary: >-
  Cintoo publishes a signed command-line login tool used to perform the one-time manual token
  acquisition for the Cintoo Cloud API. It obtains the initial JWT Access Token + Refresh Token
  pair, after which authentication can be fully automated.
name: cintoo-login
binary: cintoo-login-1.1.0-signed.exe
platform: windows (signed executable)
install:
  note: Provided by Cintoo Support alongside Sandbox/API onboarding documentation (not on a public package registry).
usage:
  authenticate:
    command: '.\cintoo-login-1.1.0-signed.exe --url https://eu.cintoo.cloud'
    flags:
    - flag: --url
      description: Target Cintoo Cloud tenant base URL (e.g. https://aec.cintoo.com or https://eu.cintoo.cloud).
    output: JWT Access Token (3h) + Refresh Token (long-lived) pair for use as Authorization Bearer credentials.
notes:
- The first token acquisition requires this manual step for security reasons; subsequent refresh can be automated.
- Not a full resource CLI — its scope is authentication/token bootstrap for the REST API.
