# overlane task status

{/* 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`. */}

Shows the held task from the service: state, lease, acceptance criteria, checks, evidence count and the latest checkpoint. Says so when nothing is held or the lease was lost.

## Usage

```sh
overlane task status
```

## Examples

```sh
overlane task status
```

## Behavior

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

## Result

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