agent status | agent whoami

Shows the current authentication status plus account and endpoint info.

agent status (alias: agent whoami) shows whether and with which account the CLI is signed in, including the endpoint configuration. --format json returns the output as machine-readable JSON instead of the default text format.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Check whether the CLI is signed in before a script run

agent status --format json

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

You want to switch accounts, not just look one up

agent status changes nothing, it only shows the current state.

Better: Use agent logout followed by agent login
