Reference
View as Markdowninsecur is experimental and prelaunch. There is no public sign-up yet, and the hosted service is not approved for valuable production secrets. Local Mode runs the development loop with no account.
Exit codes
Every insecur command exits with one of these codes. They are stable: scripts and agents
can branch on them. The exit code is derived from the failure's stable error code; the
error reference lists the exact mapping per code.
| Exit code | Meaning |
|---|---|
0 |
success |
1 |
unexpected failure |
2 |
invalid usage or validation error |
3 |
authentication required or expired |
4 |
authorization denied |
5 |
not found or intentionally indistinguishable forbidden/not found |
6 |
conflict or idempotency mismatch |
7 |
action required: provider error, or scan --strict findings |
8 |
rate limited or retryable upstream failure |
9 |
operation incomplete |
10 |
human step-up required (a High-Assurance Challenge the acting credential cannot satisfy) |
Exit code 10 deserves special note for agents: it means a human step-up is required. The
--json error body includes the operation id; poll it with
insecur operations wait <operation-id> --json while a human clears the gate in the web
console. See Approvals and step-up.
