Security Scan Automation Tool

A CLI utility that automates security scanning workflows with proper authentication handling.

Overview

Build a command-line tool that helps developers check their authentication status with a security scanning service and provides clear feedback about whether they can run scans. The tool should handle different authentication states gracefully.

Requirements

Authentication Status Checker

The tool must implement a command that checks if a user is authenticated with the security scanning service. The status checker should:

• Verify the current authentication state
• Display clear, user-friendly output about the authentication status
• Exit with appropriate status codes (0 for success, non-zero for errors)
• Handle cases where authentication has not been configured

Error Handling

The tool must handle authentication errors gracefully:

• Detect when authentication credentials are missing or invalid
• Provide helpful error messages guiding users on how to authenticate
• Distinguish between "not authenticated" and "authentication check failed" scenarios

Test Cases

• When the user is authenticated, running the status check displays the authentication state and exits successfully @test
• When the user is not authenticated, running the status check indicates the unauthenticated state @test
• The tool handles authentication check failures with appropriate error messages @test
