Authentication is the gate between your terminal and your mailbox. nylas auth scopes handles it.

The nylas auth scopes command shows which OAuth permissions are granted for a connected account — email read, email send, calendar access, contacts access, and more. Useful for debugging permission errors or verifying least-privilege access.

How It Works

The CLI stores credentials securely in your system keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service, or Windows Credential Manager). Tokens are refreshed automatically — you authenticate once and commands just work.
