The [CRI tools project](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools) provides a CLI and validation tools for the `kubelet`'s Container Runtime Interface (CRI). This allows CRI runtime developers to debug their runtimes (like `containerd`, `CRI-O`, etc.) without needing to set up Kubernetes components. The `crictl` CLI can perform numerous functions such as running containers, fetching logs, listing conatiner stats, removing images, etc.
