unread, action_required, open, done, and dismissed. --facets also returns by_kind and by_subject_type; --facet-state restricts those breakdowns and requires --facets.

Every mutation supports table and JSON output:readandunreadchange only whether the item has been seen.doneresolves completed work.dismissresolves the item without acting on it.reopenreturns a done or dismissed item toopen.
Mark a filtered set read
read-all affects only unread items matching the supplied state, kind, action-required, subject-type, and search filters. Human mode asks for confirmation unless --yes is present. JSON mode never prompts and therefore requires --yes.
JSON returns:
Exit codes
Invalid states, kinds, sort orders, filter lengths, item IDs, and non-interactive confirmation use validation exit code 7. Authentication, permission, not-found, rate-limit, unavailable-service, and version failures preserve the shared CLI exit contract. In JSON mode, stdout contains only the successful result. Failures leave stdout empty and write one categorized error object to stderr.Related
