Does that mean you are using the shell or how is it used to enable these functionalities?

Most clients hit the Glean server via the network (thrift/JSON) and then mostly via language bindings to the Glean query language, Angle. The shell is more for debugging/exploration.

Imagine an IDE plugin that queries Glean over the network for symbol information about the current file, then shows that on hover. That sort of thing.
