uv also provides a command "uvx", which is an alias for "uv tool run". You can use this to run tools like the ruff formatter/linter.

But note that tools installed using uvx do not have access to the dependencies of your project. They are run in a separate environment with only their own dependencies installed. So for things that need to import the project's dependencies, such as pytest or mypy, you will need to use "uv run ..." instead of uvx.
