hexr status gives you a live view of every agent running in your Kubernetes tenant namespace. It queries the cluster for all Hexr-managed pods and prints a summary table with each agent’s container health count, age, and full SPIFFE ID. You use it to confirm a successful hexr deploy, check on an agent after a restart, or quickly audit what’s running in a given namespace.
Usage
hexr status [--namespace <namespace>]
Output
$ hexr status

The Containers column shows running/total. A standard Hexr agent pod runs 4 containers: the agent itself, Envoy sidecar, A2A sidecar, and the PID mapper. Agents without A2A enabled run 3 containers.
hexr status reads from the Kubernetes cluster configured in your current kubectl context. Use --namespace to query a specific tenant namespace if you manage multiple tenants.
