# overlane autonomy approvals list

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Lists the team's approvals, newest first. Each is for one class and one subject, valid for an hour and for one use. An independent agent answers a pending one with `overlane autonomy approvals answer`.

## Usage

```sh
overlane autonomy approvals list [--status pending|approved|denied|consumed|expired]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--status` | one of `pending`, `approved`, `denied`, `consumed`, `expired` | no |  | Only approvals with this status |

## Examples

```sh
overlane autonomy approvals list
overlane autonomy approvals list --status pending --json
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema autonomy approvals list`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.
