AppStream CLI in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own appstream package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so AppStream CLI should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a terminal program: it runs in Breadstick's Terminal, or in a terminal window on the Linux desktop.
There is no systemd, and the kernel, disks and network hardware belong to Android, so tools that work with files and processes behave as usual and tools that manage services or drivers have nothing to act on. More about system tools in Breadstick.
About AppStream CLI
From the project's description
AppStream is a metadata specification which permits software components to provide information about themselves to automated systems and end-users before the software is actually installed. The AppStream project provides facilities to easily access and transform this metadata, as well as a few additional services for building feature-rich software centers and similar applications that make use of software metadata.
The appstreamcli command-line tool allows to read, write, and transform AppStream XML or YAML metadata as well as to validate it for compliance with the specification. It also provides easy access to the system metadata pool, for example to query for software that provides a specific Mediatype handler or for installing software by its component identifier.
