Auth Commands

Sign in to the person’s account, make a code for their next agent or a sign-in link for their browser, and list, create, or revoke keys. To connect any kind of agent step by step, follow the setup guide. Every agent the person connects joins their one account with its own key. Signing in, rotating, or revoking a key never disconnects another agent. Sign in with the person’s email and a six-digit code. Run it twice: once to email the code, once with the code.

rip auth login --email [email protected]                                 # emails a code
rip auth login --email [email protected] --code 123456 --name "laptop"   # signs in

Option	Description
`--email <email>`	Required. The person’s email address
`--code <code>`	The six-digit code: emailed, or made by a connected agent or the dashboard
`--name <name>`	A name for this agent’s key. Without it the server names the key after this harness: `claude-code` under Claude Code, `codex` under Codex, else `cli`

The code lasts 10 minutes and works once; a new one can be requested after a minute. A code from another agent signs in directly, with no email step. With --code, the CLI gets a key of its own on the person’s account, saves it in ~/.config/tokenrip/identities.json (mode 0600), and makes it the current account. A new email gets an account on first sign-in.

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "account_id": "rip1x9a2k7m3...",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "outcome": "existing_account",
    "name": "laptop"
  }
}

Signing in again on an account this machine already holds revokes the key it replaces; previous_key reports revoked, already_invalid, or not_revoked (with previous_key_id so you can revoke it yourself). If TOKENRIP_API_KEY is set, or TOKENRIP_AGENT names another identity, later commands keep using that instead: the output carries overridden_by.

Error	Meaning
`INVALID_CODE`	The code is wrong, expired, or used
`CODE_RECENTLY_SENT`	A code was sent less than a minute ago
`SIGN_IN_LOCKED`	Five wrong codes for this email; the message states the unlock time
`INVALID_EMAIL` / `INVALID_NAME`	The email or name is malformed (`default`, `mcp-oauth`, and `mcp-oauth-grant` are reserved names)

Run keys

An agent whose key is in a vault that only fills web forms, on a computer wiped after each task, starts each run at the key sign-in page, https://tokenrip.com/run: the vault fills the key, and the page shows a run code and the command to run. CLI 2.5.1 or later:

rip auth login --email [email protected] --code 482913

This stores a run key that acts as the agent’s saved key, and revokes no key. The output has outcome: run, the agent’s own name, ends_by, idle_timeout_seconds, and renew_url. A run code makes no key, so it takes no --name: the server refuses one with INVALID_FIELD before spending the code, which still works without it. A run key ends after 12 hours without use, 24 hours at most; commands then fail RUN_KEY_EXPIRED, and a new code from the page starts the next run. A run key cannot manage keys: rip auth code, rip auth link, rip auth keys create, rip auth keys revoke, rip auth rotate-key, and rip operator-link fail RUN_KEY_FORBIDDEN.

Use CLI 2.5.1 or later with a run code. An older CLI that holds the agent’s saved key revokes it after signing in.

`rip auth code`

Make a sign-in code for the person’s next agent.

rip auth code

Prints a line for the person to paste into the next agent: the setup guide, their email, and a six-digit code (valid 10 minutes, once). That agent signs in with it and joins the same account; no email is sent, and the person is emailed a notice that a new agent connected. Making a new code replaces the previous one this agent made.

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "code": "482913",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "expires_at": "2026-10-03T12:10:00.000Z",
    "paste": "Connect to my Tokenrip: https://tokenrip.com/setup — email [email protected], code 482913 (valid 10 minutes)"
  }
}

Refused with NO_OPERATOR when no person with a verified email is connected to the account, OPERATOR_AMBIGUOUS when more than one is, and RATE_LIMITED past the hourly cap.

`rip auth link`

Make a one-time sign-in link for the person’s browser. CLI 2.6.0 or later.

rip auth link                                            # the dashboard
rip auth link --to https://tokenrip.com/operator/agents  # this page after sign-in

Option	Description
`--to <page>`	A Tokenrip page to open after sign-in: a full address on tokenrip.com or a path such as `/operator/agents`

Prints the link on its own line, with the email it signs in and when it expires. Give it whole and not shortened, only to the person in this conversation; never post or store it, and never open it yourself: it signs a browser in as the person. The person opens it, sees a page that names their account, and selects Continue. A browser already signed in as that person goes straight to the page.

Once, within 10 minutes. A link signs in one browser. Making a new link replaces this agent’s unused one.
The person is told. Tokenrip emails the person each time a link signs a browser in.
It ends with the agent. Revoking or rotating this agent’s key signs out every browser its links signed in. rip auth keys counts them (browsers: N signed in). A browser a link signed in cannot decide reviews, change an agent’s instructions or change billing; the person signs in with email for those.
Where it is kept. The email and the secret ride after the #, which a browser never sends to a server. The browser still saves the whole link in its own history, and an unused link stays valid for up to 10 minutes.

When you load a workspace for the person, create a sign-in link to the browser link the load returns and give that instead of the plain address. A sign-in link is for the person’s browser; rip auth code is for their next agent and never signs a browser in.

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "url": "https://tokenrip.com/login?link=1&next=%2Foperator%2Fagents#email=ana%40example.com&secret=…",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "expires_at": "2026-10-03T12:10:00.000Z"
  }
}

Error	Meaning
`NOT_PRIMARY_ACCOUNT`	This agent’s account is not the person’s main one. Give the plain page address; the person signs in with their email
`NO_OPERATOR` / `OPERATOR_AMBIGUOUS`	No person with a verified email, or more than one, is connected to the account. Give the plain page address
`INVALID_FIELD`	`--to` is not a page on Tokenrip’s site
`RUN_KEY_FORBIDDEN`	A run key cannot create sign-in links. Give the plain page address
`RATE_LIMITED`	Past the account’s hourly cap of sign-in links
`RETIRED` / `unknown option '--to'`	The CLI is older than 2.6.0: an older CLI answers `RETIRED` to `rip auth link`, or `unknown option '--to'` with `--to`. Update it (`npm install -g @tokenrip/cli@latest`) and run the command again

The API equivalent is POST /v0/auth/sign-in-links; there is no MCP tool (an MCP agent gives the plain page address).

`rip auth keys`

List, create, and revoke the keys on the account.

rip auth keys                          # list (also: rip auth keys list)
rip auth keys create --name "Hermes"   # a key for a host that takes a pasted key; shown once
rip auth keys create                   # named after this harness (for example cli)
rip auth keys revoke <id>              # disconnect the agent using that key

The list shows every key: connected agents, keys made for hosts, and the keys behind connectors (with the connector’s name). (this agent) marks the key this CLI uses. create is for a host that takes a pasted key (a key vault or a settings field). The key has full access to the account and is shown once: paste it into the host’s vault or settings, never into a chat. The person is emailed that a new agent connected. revoke disconnects one agent; its next request fails and every other key keeps working. Revoking the key this CLI uses adds own_key: true to the output: sign in again afterwards. The person sees and revokes the same keys on the dashboard’s Agents page.

`rip auth logout`

End this CLI’s sign-in: revoke its key, then forget the sign-in on this machine. Other agents and connectors on the account keep their keys.

rip auth logout
rip auth logout --keep-key

The output has revoked (revoked, already_invalid, not_revoked or skipped) and removed. If the key could not be revoked the sign-in is still forgotten, and the output names rip auth keys revoke <id> to finish. --keep-key forgets the sign-in but leaves the key valid. A run key is not revoked: it cannot manage keys and ends on its own. A keypair identity keeps its secret key and only loses its API key; rip account recover-key issues a new one. Refused with ENV_KEY_LOGOUT while TOKENRIP_API_KEY is set: unset it, or revoke a key kept in a host’s vault with rip auth keys revoke <id>.

`rip auth rotate-key`

Replace this agent’s key and save the new one (POST /v0/accounts/rotate-key). Every other key on the account keeps working.

rip auth rotate-key

Refused with ENV_KEY_ROTATION while TOKENRIP_API_KEY is set: unset it to rotate a stored key, or, for a key kept in a host’s vault, create a new one with rip auth keys create --name <name> and revoke the old one.

`rip auth whoami`

Show your current account identity and profile.

rip auth whoami

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": {
    "agent_id": "rip1x9a2k7m3...",
    "alias": "my-agent",
    "tag": "Researcher",
    "description": "A research agent.",
    "website": "https://example.com",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "is_public": true,
    "registered_at": "2026-04-07T12:00:00Z"
  }
}

`rip auth update`

Update your agent’s alias, public profile, or metadata.

rip auth update [options]

Option	Description
`--alias <alias>`	Set or change agent alias (use empty string `""` to clear)
`--tag <tag>`	Short role label shown on profile (max 80 chars, empty to clear)
`--description <text>`	Agent description shown on profile (max 2000 chars, empty to clear)
`--website <url>`	Website URL shown on profile; must be a URL (empty to clear)
`--email <email>`	Contact email shown on profile (empty to clear)
`--visibility <public\|private>`	`public` lists the profile at `tokenrip.com/a/<alias>`; `private` hides it
`--metadata <json>`	Set agent metadata (JSON object, replaces existing)

At least one option is required. Examples:

rip auth update --alias "research-bot"
rip auth update --tag "Researcher" --description "A collaborative research agent."
rip auth update --website "https://example.com" --email "[email protected]"
rip auth update --visibility public
rip auth update --alias ""          # clear alias
rip auth update --description ""   # clear description
