Help me build a simple example using Retool. Tell me how pricing works, and briefly tell me whether this product will be easy for you to manage. Let me know if you get blocked. If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop. Stay light: use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop.

The repo appears to be empty, so I need to figure out what Retool actually is. Let me check if there's any documentation or git history that might clarify what this project is about, since the user's asking about pricing, developer workflows, and whether it has an SDK or API I can work with.

Thinking…

I'm starting with a blank workspace and need to clarify what Retool is. Retool is a low-code platform for building internal tools through a visual interface in the browser, so as an agent, my ability to act on a developer workflow depends on whether Retool exposes APIs or SDKs I can interact with—like their REST API for managing apps and resources, though I'd need valid credentials to do so.

Looking at what's available: Retool's public API endpoints exist (for listing and creating apps, running queries via workflows), and there's a Retool CLI for pushing/pulling app source, but both require an API key and an organization instance. I don't have those credentials—just a gateway API key in my environment. So I'm blocked from actually building a working example against the hosted product. The real constraint here is that while Retool does have a developer workflow I could theoretically act on, it requires authentication I don't have, which means I should acknowledge this limitation plainly rather than pretend I can proceed.

cd /tmp && timeout 25 curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://retool.com/ ; timeout 25 curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://docs.retool.com/ ; timeout 30 npm view retool-cli version 2>&1 | tail -3

I should verify the Retool CLI package exists and check the documentation for API and pricing details, then test whether an unauthenticated API call returns a 401 to confirm I'm blocked without credentials.

cd /tmp && timeout 30 curl -s -w "\nHTTP:%{http_code}\n" "https://site.retry.com" >/dev/null; timeout 30 curl -s -w "\nHTTP:%{http_code}\n" "https://api.retool.com/api/v1/apps" | head -c 400; echo; timeout 30 npm view retool-cli description homepage 2>&1 | head -10

Thinking…

I'm reviewing the Retool documentation to gather accurate information about pricing, API endpoints, CLI tools, and configuration formats. I also need to clarify what kind of developer workflow I can actually help with in Retool—there are constraints around what an agent can act on versus what requires manual setup.

The core issue is that building apps requires either the visual IDE (browser-based, not agent-actionable) or the API/CLI (which needs an instance URL and API key I don't have). I should fetch the relevant docs to confirm these limitations, then explain clearly that I'm blocked without credentials and can't proceed without them.

I need to check the CLI reference and pricing documentation to get accurate information, though the pricing details might only be available on retool.com and could be JavaScript-rendered so I'll need to investigate that.

The Retool Classic CLI is a Node.js command-line tool for interacting wth your Retool organization. It is publicly available on GitHub and through npm.
CautionThe Retool Classic CLI is deprecated. It will be removed from cloud instances on March 1, 2027, and from stable instances in the Q2 2027 stable release.If you&#x27;re looking for a CLI tool for AI-powered app building, refer to the Retool CLI installation instructions.
Installation​
npm install -g retool-cli
Retool CLI requires Node.js.
Authentication​
Retool CLI supports the following authentication options:
Google SSO.
Email and password.

The pricing page is driven by configuration, so the actual tier prices are likely stored in Sanity or a config file rather than hardcoded. I'm searching through the saved log for price patterns like "$10" or "per user" to locate where these values are defined.

I'm looking at the pricing structure across different tiers—builder and internal user costs per month for each plan level, plus details on AI credits, agent hours, and workflow run charges. Let me pull more context around these pricing details.

I'm gathering more pricing details like internal and external user rates, the free tier, agent hours, and workflow run limits by searching through the relevant sections.

I need to check the Retool API documentation to understand the base URL and authentication requirements, verify whether app creation is supported, and review the capabilities and limits. I should also look into the source control docs to see if there's a way to work with YAML files through git.

Spaces are useful when:
Your teams want to have separate source control repositories and sets of apps available to them.
You have isolated use cases which don&#x27;t overlap with the rest of your Retool usage: e.g., you want to create a suite of “performance review” apps or an external portal, each with its own set of users, apps, and resources.
You want to delegate administration of Retool to a distributed set of admins, based on the apps they’ll be overseeing.
Environments​
Environments represent the stages of your development lifecycle, such as staging and production. Each environment stores its own resource credentials so apps and workflows connect to the appropriate data source as changes move toward production.
Retool API​
The Retool API enables Retool admins to programmatically manage different aspects of their organization, such as:
Access control
Users
Groups
Permissions
SSO
Apps and themes
Resources and resource environments
Folders for apps, resources, and workflows
Spaces
Source Control
Retool also implements a subset of the SCIM 2.0 API. This adheres to the SCIM 2.0 Protocol that is used by identity providers (e.g., Okta) to automatically provision users and map groups.
While there is overlap between functionality in the Retool API and SCIM 2.0 API, use the Retool API for automating operations when possible.
Retool events​
Retool Events allow organizations to build workflows that trigger automatically in response to actions taken in Retool. These workflows can then perform custom actions, such as sending custom onboarding emails to new users or notifying admins about certain actions that occur.
You can even configure branding options to replace Retool&#x27;s built-in email notifications with workflows that send custom transactional emails with a reply-to address at your domain. When doing so, you should set up appropriate alerts as error handlers in your workflows.
Read the Retool Events workflow tutorial to learn more.
Configuration variables​
Configuration variables store reusable values, such as API base URLs, that you can reference across resources and queries. Secret values are encrypted and hidden after you save them.
Plans &amp; billing​
The Plans &amp; billing settings manage your subscription and AI credit usage. The page has two tabs:
Plans: Your current subscription, user counts, and billing details.
AI Credits: Your organization&#x27;s AI credit usage across Retool AI features such as the app builder and AI resource queries. Toggle between Usage (credits consumed by product) and History (a credit transaction history table that includes credit expiration dates).
AI Credits tab with Buy credits button
noteAdmins on Team and Business plans can purchase additional credit packs using the Buy credits button (cloud and Retool-managed keys only). Refer to the AI credits documentation for billing and usage information.
Monitoring​
The Monitoring settings help you track activity, changes, and the health of your organization.
Usage analytics​
Usage analytics report on app, query, and user activity so you can understand adoption across your organization.
Audit logs​
Audit logs record administrative and user actions for security and compliance review. You can stream them to external tools such as Datadog or Splunk.
Source control​
Source control connects your organization to a Git provider so you can version, review, and deploy changes to apps and workflows.
Observability​
Observability exports logs, metrics, and traces to monitoring tools so you can track the health and performance of your deployment.
Permissions​
The Permissions settings control who belongs to your organization and what each user can access.
Users​
User billingRefer to the billing and usage documentation to learn more about the different user types that relate to billing.
A Retool user is a Retool account that belongs or has access to an organization. Users represent the people with access to the organization and its data. Retool uses email addresses as the identifier for users.
When a user signs up, Retool associates them with an existing organization if the user meets one of the following conditions:
They use an invitation from an existing organization.
Their email address domain matches one configured by an existing organization to automatically add users from that domain.
They use an SSO provider configured for an existing organization.
Retool uses the email address as the identifier for a user and associates it with an organization at signup. This can be an existing organization if the user meets certain conditions or a new organization for which the user is the primary admin.
If the user doesn&#x27;t meet these conditions during signup, Retool prompts them to create a new organization for which they become the primary admin.
Best practiceAdmins can see draft apps for all users in the organization using the Users&#x27; drafts filter. Drafts are enabled by default. Admins can toggle off this feature by navigating to Settings &gt; Beta and turning off Drafts folders.
=== org-users/guides/retool-api/authentication
curl -X POST https://retool.example.com/api/v2/apps -H &#x27;Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN&#x27;
Access tokens for spaces​
If your organization uses Spaces, each space has its own authentication tokens and Retool API endpoints. With one exception, only tokens created for a space can be used to interact with its Retool API endpoints.
An admin can use a token from the primary organization to interact with Retool API endpoints for a space within the organization only when:
The admin user created the token on the primary organization.
The admin user of the primary organization is also an admin for the space.
API rate limits​
Retool uses a point system for rate limiting where endpoint requests cost a certain number of points. You can use up to 300 points in a 60 second window. If you exceed this, Retool blocks API calls for 60 seconds.

Thinking…

Retool does expose an API for creating apps programmatically, and the quickstart doesn't require running local services—just a hosted account and an API access token. Since there's no token available in the environment, I can't proceed with actually building an example right now.

I could prepare some useful scaffolding like a curl script template for when credentials become available, or I could check whether Retool's newer CLI tool supports AI-powered app building, since the older version is being phased out.

But realistically, I should verify that API access requires a token from an authenticated org instance and that signup isn't possible via API alone. Given the instruction to report blocks plainly and stop, I'll keep this minimal: provide a concise summary of what I found, note where I got stuck, and avoid writing speculative files. Maybe I'll do one final check to confirm the Retool API endpoints and token requirements.

cd /tmp && timeout 30 curl -s -w "\nHTTP:%{http_code}\n" -X POST https://api.retool.com/api/v2/apps -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"probe"}' | head -c 300; echo; timeout 30 curl -s -w "\nHTTP:%{http_code}\n" https://api.retool.com/api/v2/users | head -c 300
{"success":false,"message":"Authentication failure. Missing Authorization header."}
{"success":false,"message":"Authentication failure. Missing Authorization header."}
HTTP:401

{"success":false,"message":"Authentication failure. Missing Authorization header."}
HTTP:401
Thinking…

Now I'm putting together the final answer, laying out what I discovered, the pricing details, whether this is manageable, and where things hit a wall — keeping it tight and straightforward.

What I found (verified against docs.retool.com + live API probes)

Retool = hosted low-code/AI-native platform for internal tools (apps, workflows, agents, Retool Database). Primary authoring is a browser IDE / AI app builder, not a local repo.

There IS an agent-actionable path, so I didn't stop on that rule:

  • REST API (https://<org>.retool.com/api/v2/..., cloud alias api.retool.com): apps, folders, resources, users, groups, RBAC, source control, Retool Database. Bearer token, point-based rate limit (300 points / 60s; apps = 2 points).
  • Git Source Control: apps/workflows sync as files to your repo — that part I can edit directly in a checkout.
  • retool-cli on npm (v1.0.30, installs fine) — but it's the deprecated classic CLI (removed from cloud 2027‑03‑01).

Where I got blocked

No credentials. Building the example needs an org + an admin-created API access token. Nothing in the environment (env | grep -i retool → empty), and unauthenticated probes return:

POST https://api.retool.com/api/v2/apps
→ 401 {"success":false,"message":"Authentication failure. Missing Authorization header."}

Signup requires a human (email/Google SSO in browser). So I stopped rather than fabricate an example. Give me RETOOL_BASE_URL + RETOOL_API_TOKEN and I can create a Retool Database table, an app over it, and a workflow in ~3 API calls. No local stack or long-running service was needed — that constraint was fine.

Pricing (retool.com/pricing, per month)

FreeTeamBusinessEnterprise
Builder seat$0$10$50custom

Workflow runs5005,000 (+$75 per extra 5,000)5,000 (+$75/5,000)custom

Notes: billed per builder who actually created/edited something that cycle; internal users are much cheaper; ~20% off annually; credits renew monthly, no rollover. Agents are billed hourly by wall-clock runtime (rate varies by model), outside the credit pool; free allocation, then execution pauses. Enterprise can plug its own LLM key and self-host (Docker, ~15 min). Students/educators can apply for free Business; nonprofits 25 free seats.

Will this be easy for me to manage? — Honestly: partly

  • Easy: the REST API is clean REST + bearer token, well-scoped, documented, with llms.txt for docs discovery. Source-control sync means app definitions become YAML/JSON files I can diff, review, and commit like normal code. That's a genuinely good agent workflow.
  • Not easy: the core product value is a visual drag-and-drop / AI IDE in a browser I can't operate. App layout, component config, and query wiring are mostly IDE-native; API app creation is coarse (scaffold-level), so real UI work stays with a human. The file-based CLI is deprecated, so the durable path is API + git sync, not CLI.
  • Net: good for provisioning, governance, resources, users/RBAC, workflows, and versioned app definitions; poor for pixel-level UI authoring. Manageable as "agent does plumbing + code review, human does UI polish."
