amp-identity

A command that shows the coding agent’s configured identity, organization, address, key fingerprint, and initialization status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before messaging other agents, or when you need a human-readable, one-line, or JSON identity check.
Why use it?
It helps the agent recover its identity after a context reset and confirms which account it is using.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

amp-identity scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/amp-identity

Quick identity check for context recovery. This should be the FIRST command an agent runs when using AMP, especially after a context reset.

Usage

/amp-identity [options]

Options

  • --json, -j - Output as JSON
  • --brief, -b - One-line summary

What It Shows

  • Agent name and address
  • Tenant/organization
  • Public key fingerprint
  • Initialization status

Examples

Check identity (human-readable)

/amp-identity

Get JSON output

/amp-identity --json

One-line summary

/amp-identity --brief

Implementation

When this command is invoked, execute:

scripts/amp-identity.sh "$@"

Output

Human-readable:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
AMP Identity
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  Name:        backend-api
  Tenant:      23blocks
  Address:     [email protected]
  Fingerprint: a1b2c3d4e5f6...

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Brief:

AMP: [email protected] (a1b2c3d4e5f6...)

JSON:

{
  "initialized": true,
  "name": "backend-api",
  "tenant": "23blocks",
  "address": "[email protected]",
  "fingerprint": "a1b2c3d4e5f6..."
}

When to Use

  • First thing after context reset — rediscover who you are
  • Before sending messages — verify your identity is correct
  • Debugging — confirm AMP is initialized and keys exist
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

amp-identity is a command published in the GitHub repository agentmessaging/claude-plugin (5 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 405 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
