Introducing CLI Power Tools: Open-source Claude Code agents that turn Smartsheet's depth into your AI advantage

April 30, 2026

Today we're releasing CLI Power Tools — a free, open-source pack of three Claude Code agents purpose-built against the Smartsheet MCP Server. They install in 60 seconds, run in the terminal or from the Code Tab in Claude Desktop, and turn three of the most time-consuming project management tasks into conversational prompts.

Get started with these three agents in Claude Code:

• bottleneck-scanner : Replaces 45+ minutes of manually opening sheets and counting by owner with a single prompt. Identifies overloaded resources across your portfolio and reads discussion threads for context — so if someone flagged capacity issues in a comment last week, the agent already knows before suggesting changes.
• reassignment-helper: Turns 30+ minutes of filtering and clicking through individual rows into a 15-second preview-and-confirm workflow. Scans every sheet a person owns, checks for blockers and access gaps, and shows exactly what will change before anything is written.
• engagement-cloner: Cuts roughly 60 minutes of find-copy-clear-rename-reshare work down to a single prompt. Replicates project structure without carrying over previous client data, and flags anything that shouldn't transfer.

The three tools follow a deliberate trust model — Read, Write, Create — so you can build with confidence with AI on your live work. When multiple agents analyze the same data and reach different conclusions, the system surfaces the disagreement instead of hiding it: AI analyzes and recommends, humans decide. That's not a limitation — it's the design.

Every action respects existing Smartsheet permissions, every write requires explicit approval, and every change leaves a paper trail — aligned with Smartsheet's Responsible AI principles.

These three are just the start. We're treating Power Tools as a growing library — daily cadence, governance, workspace setup, and packs we haven't named yet. MIT-licensed. PRs welcome. The catalog grows from here. Learn more and get detailed instructions on how to get started in our new blog from Drew Gartner, SVP of AI & Platform Strategy at Smartsheet.
