Labels

Some SDK objects expose a labels field together with the client LabelableObjectMixin.

Current examples include:

  • Project
  • TimeIndexMetaTable
  • MetaTable

What Labels Are For

Labels are organizational metadata only.

Use them to:

  • group related objects
  • annotate ownership or workflow state
  • make browsing and manual discovery easier

What Labels Do Not Do

Labels do not change:

  • runtime behavior
  • execution semantics
  • storage identity
  • hashing
  • permissions
  • scheduling
  • functionality of the underlying object

They are helpers for humans, not runtime configuration.

SDK Usage

Objects that inherit LabelableObjectMixin expose:

  • add_label(...)
  • remove_label(...)

Example:

from mainsequence.client.models_foundry import Project

project = Project.get_by_uid("<PROJECT_UID>")
project.add_label(["rates", "research"])
project.remove_label("archive")

CLI Usage

The CLI exposes the same verbs on the object groups that support labels:

mainsequence project add-label <PROJECT_UID> --label rates --label research
mainsequence project remove-label <PROJECT_UID> --label archive

mainsequence data-node add-label <DATA_NODE_STORAGE_UID> --label curated
mainsequence data-node remove-label <DATA_NODE_STORAGE_UID> --label archive

Each command calls the SDK model method for that object. The label mutation updates organizational metadata only.
