      `cdp configure` writes the API access key ID and private key to
      ~/.cdp/credentials. The CLI performs x-altus-auth request signing on the
      caller's behalf.
    surface_shape: >-
      One command group per control plane service, and one subcommand per API
      operation, generated from the same service definitions that back the
      published Swagger. `cdp <service> <operation>` maps 1:1 to
      POST /api/v1/<service>/<operationId>, so the CLI is a complete and current
      mirror of the 778-operation API.

      cdpcli's own data directory (cdpcli/data/<service>/<service>.yaml) ships the
      19 service definitions, one per control plane service — the same set
      Cloudera publishes as Swagger in cdp-dev-docs.

    description: >-
      curl-like tool that signs CDP API requests. Ships cdpv1sign, which the API
      overview names as the supported way to generate x-altus-auth and
      x-altus-date headers for any other HTTP client. This is the tool that makes
      the raw API reachable from anything that is not the CLI or the Java SDK.
