# Edge Impulse Documentation - Tools

> CLIs, inference and Studio SDKs, API bindings, data formats, and device protocols.

This is the "Tools" section index of the Edge Impulse documentation, following https://llmstxt.org/. It lists the pages in this section only. For other sections see the root index at https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/llms.txt; for the complete expanded index see https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/llms-full.txt.

Links point to the markdown-rendered version of each page (`.md`), so agents retrieve clean content without navigation, ads, or scripts. Every link includes a short note describing the page.

## Intents

Intent-bearing retrieval prompts. Match a user request to the closest intent below, then retrieve the linked pages before answering.

### Get started as an ML practitioner

> I come from machine learning and want to start from datasets, model workflows, experiments, SDKs, and evaluation rather than from hardware.

- [Start from datasets, model workflows, experiments, SDKs, and evaluation.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/knowledge/guides/getting-started-for-ml-practitioners.md)
- [Compare alternative impulse and model configurations side by side.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/studio/projects/experiments.md)
- [Evaluate trained models on held-out data before deploying.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/studio/projects/model-testing.md)
- [Drive Studio workflows programmatically from the Python SDK.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/tools/libraries/sdks/studio/python.md)

### Upload or collect data programmatically via the API and SDK

> I want to push samples into a project or pull data out programmatically using the Ingestion API or the Python SDK, including structured labels.

- [Reference the Ingestion API for uploading samples and device data.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/apis/ingestion.md)
- [Upload samples with structured multi-label metadata.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/tutorials/tools/apis/ingestion/ingest-structured-label-data.md)
- [Use the Python SDK to move data in and out of projects.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/tools/libraries/sdks/studio/python.md)
- [Upload and download project data from Python step by step.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/tutorials/tools/sdks/studio/python/upload-download-data.md)

### Choose the right API or interface

> I need to decide which programmatic interface to use - Studio API, Ingestion API, Remote Management API, the Python SDK, or the CLI.

- [Automate projects, training, jobs, deployments, and organizations.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/apis/studio.md)
- [Upload samples and device data into a project.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/apis/ingestion.md)
- [Connect and manage device communication workflows.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/apis/remote-management.md)
- [Use the supported Python interface for Studio workflows.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/tools/libraries/sdks/studio/python.md)
- [Connect devices, upload data, run impulses, and build custom blocks from the CLI.](https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/tools/clis/edge-impulse-cli.md)
