rf inspect

rf inspect reads a pipeline definition and prints a structured view of the graph — nodes, edges, execution order, and schemas.

Usage

rf inspect [options]

Options

Flag	Description
--file <path>	Path to the pipeline file. Default: pipeline.rf.yaml.
--node <id>	Show details for a single node.
--format <fmt>	Output format: text (default) or json.
--edges	Show only the edge list.
--order	Show only the execution order.

Example

$ rf inspect

Pipeline: lead-scoring
Nodes: 4
Edges: 3

Nodes
-----
  read-leads       source          file.read
  score-leads      deterministic   sql.query
  filter-top       deterministic   sql.query
  write-output     deterministic   file.write

Edges
-----
  read-leads.rows       -> score-leads.rows        Table
  score-leads.scored    -> filter-top.data          Table
  filter-top.qualified  -> write-output.data        Table

Execution Order
---------------
  1. read-leads
  2. score-leads
  3. filter-top
  4. write-output

Schemas
-------
  read-leads.rows (output):
    name       string
    email      string
    score      number

  score-leads.scored (output):
    name       string
    email      string
    score      number
    weighted   number

Inspect a single node

$ rf inspect --node score-leads

Node: score-leads
Type: deterministic
Op:   sql.query

Params:
  query: "SELECT *, score * 1.5 AS weighted FROM rows"

Inputs:
  rows     Table    from ref(read-leads.rows)
    name       string
    email      string
    score      number

Outputs:
  scored   Table
    name       string
    email      string
    score      number
    weighted   number

Filtered views

# Edges only
$ rf inspect --edges
  read-leads.rows       -> score-leads.rows        Table
  score-leads.scored    -> filter-top.data          Table
  filter-top.qualified  -> write-output.data        Table

# Execution order only
$ rf inspect --order
  1. read-leads
  2. score-leads
  3. filter-top
  4. write-output

Use --format json for machine-readable output in CI pipelines and tooling integrations.
