`--kblight` does not work on Framework 16 - should call qmk_hid
I'm using Laptop 16 with keyboard and num pad.
I notice that every time I ran framework_tool --kblight to get or set the backlight, it always return InvalidCommand:
hms5232@Laptop-16-AMD-Ryzen-7040-Series:~$ sudo ~/bin/framework_tool --kblight
[ERROR] EC Response Code: InvalidCommand
Keyboard backlight: Unable to tell
After searching web and issue, I can't find the solution or related reports, so submit an issue.

Framework 16 keyboard is not connected to the embedded controller. It's a standalone USB keyboard.
You can use qmk_hid via --backlight or qmk_hid via --rgb-brightness.
See: https://github.com/frameworkcomputer/qmk_hid
In theory I could hook up --kblight to qmk_hid to make it work automatically. Hmm
