status

A report of observable AgentOps evidence, such as stored intent and verdict files, check results, counts, freshness, and unavailable sources. AgentOps here means the local records used to track agent work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect available local evidence, report artifact counts and recency, and show which checks were or were not performed.
Why use it?
It prevents status reports from presenting guesses about runtime activity as facts.

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

Status

A status snapshot is trustworthy exactly when every line traces to an artifact that exists on disk right now; the first inferred line turns the report into a guess wearing a report's clothes.

Report only observable local facts: available intent and verdict artifacts and their counts; deterministic check results; evidence recency; and unavailable or corrupt sources. The canonical durable stores are .agents/ao/intents/sha256 and .agents/ao/verdicts/sha256. Subject manifests are caller-supplied: report them only when the caller names their location, otherwise disclose them as not_checked. When .agents/ao evidence exists, report which stored artifact kind is newest and label that conclusion as evidence recency, not runtime phase or process activity. The ao status snapshot emits the two counts plus that newest-artifact recency conclusion, not a per-artifact digest or timestamp listing; report a specific artifact's digest or timestamp only when the caller asks about a named artifact.

Always disclose checked and not_checked. Runtime phase, execution elapsed time, tool-call activity, and remaining work are not_checked unless a caller provides a separate authoritative source for them.

ao status is the evidence-store view. It validates content-addressed artifact names and content before counting them, reports corrupt and unavailable entries, and shows only intent/verdict counts plus evidence recency. Retired legacy surfaces (session indexes, provenance summaries, knowledge-health signals) are not aggregated into this command.

Distinct state classes stay distinct in every status report: tracker state belongs to the tracker, Git state to Git, factory or runtime state to the selected factory's own doors, deterministic-check results to the executable that produced them, and semantic validation to a fresh verdict. Report each from its own authority, never merged into one blended "health" claim — factory-complete, checks-green, and AgentOps-PASS are three different facts.

Status does not inspect work queues, assign priority, claim work, infer a next action, repair records, govern retries, or change any state. Optional Git or tracker metadata may be displayed only when the caller supplies it; absence cannot change the report interpretation.

Named failure mode — recency-as-activity: reading "newest artifact is a verdict" as "validation is running", which invents a runtime phase from a timestamp.

Anti-pattern: filling not_checked gaps with plausible narrative so the snapshot feels complete. Corrective: report the gap as a gap; an honest hole outranks a smooth story.

Return the snapshot and stop.

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 skill published in the GitHub repository boshu2/agentops (431 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 712 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
