+The APEX CLI Tosca Editor
+-------------------------

+         .. container:: paragraph
+
+            As per the new Policy LifeCycle API, the policies are expected to be defined as ToscaServiceTemplate. The CLI Tosca Editor is an extended version of the APEX CLI Editor which can generate the policies in ToscaServiceTemplate way.
+
+         .. container:: paragraph
+
+            The APEX config file(.json), command file(.apex) and the tosca template skeleton(.json) file paths need to be passed as input arguments to the CLI Tosca Editor. Policy in ToscaServiceTemplate format is generated as the output. This can be used as the input to Policy API for creating policies.
