inhibitor-tool 5.2.1
A tool for adding items to the inhibition list via API
Requires Python: >=3.6

# **`inhibitor_tool`**  

## **📌 Introduction**  

`inhibitor_tool` is a Python CLI tool that allows users to send, remove, and list inhibition requests via an API.  
It supports authentication through environment variables loaded from `auth_token`.  

---

## **🛠 Installation**  
You can install the package using `pip`:  

```bash
pip3 install inhibitor_tool
```

---

## **🔧 Configuration**  

### **1️⃣ Set Up Authentication**  
Before using `inhibitor_tool`, you must configure authentication credentials in `~/.auth_token` and load them into the environment:  

```bash
echo 'export USERNAME="mmwei3"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export PASSWORD="mmwei3password"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export LOGIN_URL="https://auth.example.com/token"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export INHIBIT_URL="https://inhibitor.example.com/add"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export REMOVE_URL="https://inhibitor.example.com/remove"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export LIST_URL="https://inhibitor.example.com/list"' >> ~/.auth_token

source ~/.auth_token
```

> 💡 **Important:** The `source ~/.auth_token` command must be executed every time a new session is started.

## **🚀 Usage**  

### **2️⃣ Inhibit an Item (Default TTL: 3 hours)**  
```bash
inhibitor-tool add --content "MaliciousIP:192.168.1.1"
```

### **3️⃣ Specify a Custom TTL**  
```bash
inhibitor-tool add --content "MaliciousIP:192.168.1.1" --ttl 6
```
- `--ttl 6` means the inhibition will last **6 hours** (default is **3 hours**).  

### **4️⃣ Add a Custom Remark**  
```bash
inhibitor-tool add --content "MaliciousIP:192.168.1.1" --ttl 6 --remark "Security alert"
```
- The remark helps track the reason for inhibition.  
- If omitted, it defaults to `"tmp_inhibitor"`.

### **5️⃣ Remove an Inhibition**  
```bash
inhibitor-tool remove --content "MaliciousIP:192.168.1.1"
```
- This command removes an inhibition entry matching the provided content.  

### **6️⃣ List Active Inhibitions**  
```bash
inhibitor-tool list
```
- Displays active inhibitions in a shell-friendly table format.

#### **🔹 JSON Output Format**  
```bash
inhibitor-tool list --json
```
- Outputs inhibition data in JSON format, suitable for scripting.

### **7️⃣ Check Version**  
```bash
inhibitor-tool --version
inhibitor-tool -V
```
