Description

Pass `--service-sid`, the same `--to` the code was sent to, and `--code`. A verification expires after 10 minutes and is deleted once it is approved or runs out of attempts; checking it after that returns 404. The REST call is `POST https://verify.twilio.com/v2/Services/{ServiceSid}/VerificationCheck`. The CLI also needs `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID` and `TWILIO_API_SECRET`, or a `twilio login` profile.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

CLI (official)

Install the command, then confirm it runs.

brew tap twilio/brew && brew install twilio
twilio --version

Run twilio api:verify:v2:services:verification-check:create.

Set $TWILIO_API_KEY in your environment first (get a key: https://www.twilio.com/docs/iam/api-keys/keys-in-console).

Before doing anything else, make one read-only call to confirm access.

Rules

  • Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data.
  • Never print API keys.

Built from these files in the repository

The layout and the rules come from lib/catalog/render-markdown.ts, the set-up wording from lib/catalog/render-access.ts.
