We have onyo get for querying the inventory for assets. We don't technically have something to query for directories.
To some extend it could be done via get since - in principle - we have the directory key for assets. So, while it's conceptually a bit awkward most directory look ups could probably be done (like, say: onyo get --keys directory --match type=laptop make=apple to get all directories containing an apple laptop).
One type of query comes to mind, that can't be done: listing directories that are empty from onyo's POV (meaning: contain no assets).
This is probably an argument for an onyo list command, but we may want to think a bit about what kind of queries may be interesting and awkward or impossible to address by get.
Note on "in principle we have the directory key":
I don't think, we've properly ensured that's actually consistently the case, since initially it was meant for onyo new only. If we want that to be queryable (and I think we do), we need to make sure it's actually always filled in.
