galaxy-tool-cache

Fetches Galaxy tool metadata from the Tool Shed, caches the parsed wrapper locally, and inspects it. Bundled with @galaxy-tool-util/cli alongside gxwf; subcommand pages cover individual operations. The cache is the input source for summarize-galaxy-tool — summarize reads an already-cached pin, so populate the cache first with add (single pin) or populate-workflow (every tool a draft references). Both Tool Shed wrappers and stock/built-in tools resolve against the shed; list enumerates what a cache holds and at which versions.

Install

npx --yes --package @galaxy-tool-util/cli@1.8.1 galaxy-tool-cache <subcommand> runs without a global install. For repeat use, npm install -g @galaxy-tool-util/cli@1.8.1. The @1.8.1 pin matches gxwf (same npm package), tracks the ^1.8.1 devDependency in the repo package.json / pnpm-lock.yaml, and is the floor for stock/built-in tool resolution (bare ids).
