 ## Interacting with the Ruler
 
-### Cortextool
-Because the rule files are identical to Prometheus rule files, we can interact with the Loki Ruler via [`cortextool`](https://github.com/grafana/cortex-tools#rules). The CLI is in early development, but it works with both Loki and Cortex. Pass the `--backend=loki` option when using it with Loki.

 An example workflow is included below:

-cortextool rules lint --backend=loki ./output/rules.yaml
+lokitool rules lint ./output/rules.yaml
 
 # diff rules against the currently managed ruleset in Loki
-cortextool rules diff --rule-dirs=./output --backend=loki
+lokitool rules diff --rule-dirs=./output
 
 # ensure the remote ruleset matches your local ruleset, creating/updating/deleting remote rules which differ from your local specification.
-cortextool rules sync --rule-dirs=./output --backend=loki
+lokitool rules sync --rule-dirs=./output
 
 # print the remote ruleset
-cortextool rules print --backend=loki

 ```
 
-### Cortextool Github Actions
-There is also a [github action](https://github.com/grafana/cortex-rules-action) available for `cortex-tool`, so you can add it into your CI/CD pipelines!
-
-For instance, you can sync rules on master builds via
-```yaml
-name: sync-cortex-rules-and-alerts
-on:
-  push:
-    branches:
-      - master
-env:
-  CORTEX_ADDRESS: '<fill me in>'
-  CORTEX_TENANT_ID: '<fill me in>'
-  CORTEX_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.API_KEY }}
-  RULES_DIR: 'output/'
-jobs:
-  sync-loki-alerts:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
-    steps:
-      - name: Lint Rules

 ### Terraform
 
 With the [Terraform provider for Loki](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/fgouteroux/loki/latest), you can manage alerts and recording rules in Terraform HCL format:
