UiPath CLI user guide
Last updated May 7, 2026
uip rpa find-activities searches Studio's activity index for activities whose name, description, or metadata matches a query string. Each match is returned with its ActivityTypeId, class name, namespace, assembly, description, and other identifying properties — enough to feed into uip rpa get-default-activity-xaml for code generation, or to look up documentation.
The activity index lives inside Studio, so this verb requires a Windows runner.
Synopsis
uip rpa find-activities --query <string> [--tags <string>] [--limit <integer>]
uip rpa find-activities --query <string> [--tags <string>] [--limit <integer>]
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--query <string> | Search query used to filter activities. |
--tags <string> | Comma-separated list of tags to narrow results further. Leave empty to ignore tag filtering. |
--limit <integer> | Maximum number of activities to return. Default: 10. |
For the complete option list on your installed tool version, run:
uip rpa find-activities --help
uip rpa find-activities --help
