whoami

whoami is a command for coding agents from openclaw/crabbox. It costs 0 tokens per session (733 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that asks the coordinator service which user, organization, authentication method, and broker address your request uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking the active identity and authentication setup for a coordinator-backed workflow.
Why use it?
It helps confirm that the command-line login and coordinator connection are working before you start a long workflow.

Command

About the project

Crabbox is a remote execution control plane that lets a local command run on managed cloud capacity, an SSH host, or another delegated sandbox while syncing code, streaming output, and recording evidence. It is for maintainers, contributors, teams, AI agents, and automation that need repeatable remote testing, builds, browser checks, or platform-specific validation. The catalogue add-ons provide commands and instructions for controlling Crabbox runs.

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

whoami 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

whoami

crabbox whoami calls the broker's /v1/whoami endpoint and prints the identity the coordinator resolved for your request. Use it to confirm broker auth is working before starting any long-running workflow.

crabbox whoami
crabbox whoami --json

whoami requires a configured coordinator (broker URL plus a token). If none is configured it fails with exit code 2 and the message whoami requires a configured coordinator. See login and config for how the broker URL and token are stored.

Flags

  • --json - print the raw coordinator response as JSON instead of the human-readable line.

whoami takes no positional arguments.

Human output

user=github:12345 org=example-org auth=github broker=https://broker.example.com

The fields:

  • user - the resolved owner identity, as the coordinator sees it.
  • org - the organization namespace, when set (empty otherwise).
  • auth - the auth mode the coordinator accepted: github for signed login tokens, bearer for shared automation tokens.
  • broker - the coordinator URL the CLI is configured to use. This is a local field added by the CLI from your config, not returned by the broker.

JSON output

{
  "owner": "github:12345",
  "org": "example-org",
  "auth": "github"
}

The JSON form is exactly the coordinator's /v1/whoami response: owner, org, and auth. The broker URL is not included in JSON output.

How identity is resolved

When you log in through the browser flow, the broker issues a signed user token (prefix cbxu_) that embeds your immutable github:<numeric-id> owner and allowed-org membership. A verified GitHub email remains an eligibility check, not ownership. For requests carrying that token the coordinator derives owner/org from the token itself and reports auth=github.

Shared bearer-token automation has no embedded identity, so the broker reads owner/org from the X-Crabbox-Owner and X-Crabbox-Org request headers and reports auth=bearer. The CLI fills those headers from, in order of precedence:

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.
