Review operations
Inspect recent project activity during development or troubleshooting.
Neon · Command
neonctl operations
neonctl operations list lists operations for a Neon project. The command group also accepts the operation alias.
How it works
The command retrieves and displays operations associated with a Neon project. Use it to inspect recent or ongoing project activity through the Neon CLI; the command is also available under the shorter operation alias.
Syntax
neonctl operations listParameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
project_id | string, path, required | Neon project identifier used by the underlying API endpoint. |
cursor | string, query, optional | Continuation cursor from a previous response. |
limit | integer, query, optional | Maximum number of operations to return; valid range is 1–1000. |
Returns
A list of operations for the specified Neon project; API responses can be paginated with a cursor.
Key points
- The corresponding API endpoint uses GET and includes the project ID in the path.
- Results are scoped to the specified Neon project.
- The API limit parameter accepts values from 1 to 1000.
Common mistakes
- A project may have many operations, so output can be substantial; use the API when you need cursor-based pagination.
- The documented pagination controls belong to the underlying API rather than the shown CLI command.
Example: List project operations
neonctl operations listLists operations for the current Neon project context.
When to use it
Monitor project work
Check whether project actions have completed or are still progressing.
Paginate operation history
Use the API instead of the CLI when retrieving large result sets in batches.
Interview questions
QWhat does the operations command do?
Use neonctl operations list to list operations for a Neon project. The CLI documentation also defines operation as an alias for operations.
Follow-up: How would you handle a very large result set? Use the operations API with limit, then pass the returned cursor to retrieve subsequent batches.
QWhat is the syntax for listing operations?
The command is neonctl operations list. It corresponds to the documented CLI form neon operations list, because neonctl is the CLI name used in the command example.
Follow-up: What is the equivalent HTTP operation? Send GET /projects/{project_id}/operations.
QWhich pagination parameters are available?
The API supports an optional limit from 1 through 1000 and an optional cursor for continuation. The required path value is the Neon project ID.
Follow-up: What does the cursor represent? It is the continuation value returned by the previous response and is supplied to request the next batch.
