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.

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.
