status

A command that checks the saved local OAuth login state without contacting the network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in the terminal or scripts to inspect the default or a specified auth.json file and return the result as a table or JSON.
Why use it?
It shows whether the access or refresh tokens are present, expired, or marked with an error, so you can tell whether to log in again or refresh.

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

status 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 status

Purpose

Check whether the current OAuth state is usable. The command does not make network requests; it only reads the local auth.json file and inspects token state, refresh token state, expiry, and error flags.

Common Usage

grok-cli status

Script or skill usage:

grok-cli status --json

Inspect a custom auth file:

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

Parameters

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

Behavior

  • Reads and validates the OAuth state file.
  • Non-JSON output uses a three-column table: field, current value, and English explanation.
  • Reports logged_in, access_token_present, refresh_token_present, and access_token_expiring.
  • Reports relogin_required and entitlement_denied, which help upstream callers decide whether to re-login or treat the issue as an entitlement problem.
  • Does not auto-refresh. Use refresh when you need to refresh.

JSON Fields

data contains:

  • logged_in
  • provider
  • auth_mode
  • access_token_present
  • refresh_token_present
  • access_token_expiring
  • relogin_required
  • entitlement_denied
  • auth_store_path
  • base_url
  • 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.

status 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 350 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.
