agent about

Shows version, system, and account info for the CLI installation.

agent about prints an overview of the installed CLI version, the system, and the signed-in account. --format json makes the output machine-readable. /about does the same in interactive mode and also copies the info to the clipboard.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Gather diagnostic info for a support request

agent about --format json

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

Only the version number is needed

agent about returns more info than a plain version check needs.

Better: Use agent -v or agent --version instead (see Global Options)
