Check auth before chat
Agent providers require authentication. Check auth before sending prompts.
ts
import { connect } from "switchboard-ai-sdk";
const tool = await connect("codex");
const auth = await tool.checkAuth();
if (auth.authStatus === "unauthenticated") {
const start = await tool.startAuth();
console.log("Run:", start.command);
console.log("Instructions:", start.instructions);
process.exit(0);
}
const result = await tool.chat({
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Refactor this file." }],
});
console.log(result.message.content);Generic helper
ts
async function ensureAuth(tool) {
if (!tool.checkAuth) return; // not an auth provider
const auth = await tool.checkAuth();
if (auth.authStatus === "unauthenticated") {
const start = await tool.startAuth();
console.log("Auth required:", start.instructions);
throw new Error("Authentication required");
}
