checks

On the Starter plan, shows how many of today's 500 checks are used and how many are left. It runs nothing and uses no check.

Synopsis

catcli checks [-l <level>] [-q]

Options

Short Long Value Meaning
-l --loggingLevel level Error (default), Information, Debug, … — see Logging.
-q --quiet Suppress the “working offline” notice; refusals are never suppressed.

What it does

Signs in the way every verb does (see Sign-in, plans and the license key), then reads the count of the Starter plan’s checks per day. It needs no project and takes nothing off the count. An AI agent can ask it before a large run.

Output

Situation What it prints Exit code

The line is the same one run prints after a run on the Starter plan.

Exit code

0 when the count, or the fact that there is none, was printed. 7 on the Starter plan when CAT can reach neither CAT Portal nor its count on this computer. Codes 2–8 from the sign-in and plan check as for every verb — see Exit codes.
