state

A command that reads a local OAuth sign-in file and shows a redacted summary of its saved state. OAuth is a way for an application to sign in without displaying the full access token.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking whether access or refresh tokens exist or are expiring, viewing provider and sign-in details, and finding the last authentication error.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose saved authentication problems while keeping full token values out of the output.

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

state 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

grok-cli state

Purpose

Inspect a redacted summary of the local OAuth state file. state does not call the xAI network; it only reads local auth.json.

If you only want to know whether the session is currently usable, prefer status. state is mainly for troubleshooting what was saved locally.

Common Usage

grok-cli state
grok-cli state --json

Inspect a custom state file:

grok-cli state --auth-file ./auth.json --json

Parameters

  • --json: use the standard JSON envelope.
  • --auth-file <PATH>: override the OAuth state file path.

Behavior

  • state is a redacted show command. It no longer exposes path, show, or validate subcommands.
  • The command never prints full token values; it only shows whether tokens exist, whether they are expired, and safe summary fields such as provider, auth mode, base URL, last refresh, and last auth error.

JSON Fields

data contains:

  • provider
  • auth_mode
  • auth_store_path
  • base_url
  • access_token_present
  • refresh_token_present
  • access_token_expiring
  • last_refresh
  • last_auth_error
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.

state is a command published in the GitHub repository Moore-developers/grok-cli (52 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 294 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 2026-08-30.
