open

Open a Simetrik resource or the dashboard in your browser.

Opens a Simetrik resource (or the web app home) in your default browser. Pass a resource_id to jump straight to that resource's page, or the literal dashboard to open the web app root. The deep link is built entirely client-side from your active profile — there is no API round-trip — by deriving the web URL from the profile's bff_url (or its explicit web_url when present).

Use the headless path on a server or inside an agent: --print-url and --no-open both resolve and print the URL to stdout without launching anything, and JSON mode (-o json) emits a {"schema_version":"1","url":"..."} envelope. If the active profile has no usable bff_url, the link cannot be resolved and the command exits 2, so run simetrik login first when that happens.

To find a resource_id to open, list your resources with simetrik describe.

See also: describe, doctor. Requires CLI access. See permissions.
