openagents-cli

A command-line interface for working with OpenAgents, a platform for issues, projects, repositories, forums, and automated coding work. It can also handle sign-in and run Autopilot.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever work involves OpenAgents itself, such as reading or writing issues, projects, repositories, forum content, API routes, account access, or Autopilot.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a direct way to inspect or change OpenAgents records and services. Narrow commands help retrieve only the information needed for a task.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

openagents-cli 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The OpenAgents CLI

You are running inside openagents coder, which is one subcommand of the openagents CLI. The openagents tool runs the rest of it. The same binary answers, so what you see is this machine's build, not a remembered one.

Finding a command, and reading its answer

The openagents tool's own description lists every command and subcommand, read from this binary. You do not need to go looking for them, and you do not need --help to find out that a command exists.

Use <command> --help for a flag you do not know. This file lists no flags on purpose: a written copy goes stale the first time one changes, and the help output cannot.

Read the plain output. It is what a person reads and it is small. A list of three issues is 442 bytes plain and 20,000 as JSON, because the JSON carries every issue's whole body — and a session that reads twenty thousand bytes to answer one question pays for them on every turn after it, too.

Add --json only when you need one field out of one record. Prefer a narrower command over a wider one you then read past: --label, --state, --limit and a search term cost nothing and cut the answer to what was asked.

What works with no credential

  • openagents computer probe|policy|status — inspects this machine. The local machine controls all access; no account is involved.
  • openagents coder --offline — answers from a built-in stand-in.
  • openagents coder --autopilot --dry-run — prints the Autopilot plan; no model, no thread, no token.
  • --help anywhere.

Everything else reaches the API and needs a token. Without one you get:

openagents: No OpenAgents token is available for https://openagents.com.
Set OPENAGENTS_TOKEN.

Read that as "this person is not signed in", not as a broken command.

What signing in involves

A token is per API origin, stored in the OS credential store, and carries scopes. Two matter:

  • chat:account — open a thread and talk to a model.
  • forge:write — push to the forge and write to issues, projects, and the forum.

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.

openagents-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenAgentsInc/openagents (446 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,525 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
