# Bolna calls CLI commands and flags

> Reference for the bolna call/calls CLI commands and flags used to start calls, list history, and view transcripts from your terminal.

Manage [calls](/docs/guides/outbound/making-outgoing-calls). Subcommands let you start an outbound call, list call history for an agent, and view a single call's full detail and transcript. Each command maps to a tool in the [Bolna MCP server](/docs/build-with-ai/mcp)'s tool list.

## Syntax

```bash theme={"system"}
bolna call start <agent-id> [flags]
bolna calls [command]
```
