  Lytics Command Line Tool & Developers Aid — CLI access to the Lytics API, and a
  workbench for writing and testing LQL (Lytics Query Language).

note: >-
  First-party Go CLI, but the repository's last commit is 2021-04-08 — it predates the
  v2 API entirely and targets the v1 (/api) surface. Recorded as unmaintained rather
  than omitted, because an agent or operator will still find it and it is the only
  first-party CLI Lytics ships. A second, older Python CLI exists on PyPI as `lytics`
  (0.0.12, 2014) from github.com/lytics/lyticscli — see packages/lytics-packages.yml.
