Inspect a session

Read one captured session's summary from the CLI — turns, tokens, cost, duration, and status.

Pull up one session’s record: what ran, what it cost, and how it ended. Prerequisite: a session id, from paperctl sessions list or paperctl search.

Get a session

paperctl sessions get <session-id>

Shows the session’s summary: agent and model, start and end times, turn count, token totals, cost, duration, and status.

JSON for scripts and agents

paperctl sessions get <session-id> --json

Emits the raw session detail as JSON.

Going deeper

The CLI summary answers “what happened and what did it cost.” To walk the conversation itself — every turn, tool call, and decision — open the session in paper console: the session detail view shows the full trace. To pull the complete content locally, export it.
