Arguments

Argument	Description
`-h, --help`	show this help message and exit
`--from-file <action_config_file>`	Path to a file containing Action configuration. Other CLI arguments specified will override the values in the config file.
`--name <name>`	Name of the action. Not modifiable after creation. An action is considered unique by its (name, docker_image_name, docker_image_tag) tuple.
`--description <description>`	Optional description of action. Modifiable after creation.
`--short_description <short_description>`	Optional description of action. Modifiable after creation.
`--inherits_from <action_name> \| <action_name>@<digest> \| <org>/<action_name> \| <org>/<action_name>@<digest>`	Partially or fully qualified reference to action from which to inherit configuration. Inheriting from another action is mutually exclusive with specifying a container image (`--image`), entrypoint (`--entrypoint`), command (`--command`), working directory (`--workdir`), env vars (`--env`), or parameter(s) (`--parameter`).
`--image <image>`	Associate a Docker image with this action. Modifiable after creation.
`--parameter 'name=<name>\|required=<true\|false>\|default=<value>\|description=<description>'`	Zero or more parameters (space-separated) accepted by this action. `name` is the only required attribute. `default` values, if provided, are JSON parsed. This argument can be specified multiple times. Parameters can be modified after creation. Argument values must be wrapped in quotes. e.g. `--put-parameter 'name=my_param\|required=true\|description=My description of my_param'`
`--metadata <KEY=VALUE>`	Zero or more `<key>=<value>` format key/value pairs which represent action metadata. `value` is parsed as JSON. Metadata can be modified after creation.
`--tag <tag>`	One or more tags to annotate this action. Modifiable after creation.
`--timeout <timeout>`	Optional timeout for an action in minutes, defaults to 30 minutes or 12 hours depending on tier.
`--org <org>`	The calling organization ID. Gets set implicitly if in a single org. The `ROBOTO_ORG_ID` environment variable can be set to control the default value; without it, the default is the `org_id` of the config file profile in use, which `roboto setup` saves.
`--requires-downloaded-inputs <requires_downloaded_inputs>`	Optional flag which indicates that invocations of this action require their inputs downloaded to the working directory before running. This is the default.
`--yes`	If action with same name already exists, update the existing action without prompting for confirmation.

`--storage <storage>`	Ephemeral storage (in GiB) to dedicate to action invocation. Defaults to 21 GiB. Supported values range from 21 to 200, inclusive.
`--gpu`	This is a placeholder; it currently does nothing. In the future, setting this option will invoke the action in a GPU-enabled compute environment.

Container parameters

Specify parameters to pass to the action’s Docker container at runtime.

Argument	Description
`--entrypoint <entry_point>`	Container ENTRYPOINT override. Supports passing empty string (“”) as an override, which unsets the ENTRYPOINT specified in the docker image. If updating or invoking action which has existing ENTRYPOINT override, specify `null` to remove the override. Refer to docker documentation for more: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#entrypoint and https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#entrypoint-default-command-to-execute-at-runtime

Refer to docker documentation for more: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#cmd and https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#cmd-default-command-or-options
`--command-form {exec,shell}`	In `exec` form, the provided `--command` str is split into a list of strings (e.g., `--command "-c 'print(123)'"` is parsed as `["-c", "print(123)"]`). In `shell` form, the provided `--command` str is not split (e.g., `--command "python -c 'print(123)'"` is parsed as `["python -c 'print(123)'"]`). Default: `exec`.
