Use nullspace machine list to find running, paused, and historical machines. List responses support state, template, metadata, pagination, and field selection.

​
Basic List

nullspace machine list
nullspace machine list --json
Use JSON output when another script or agent will parse the response.

​
Filter By State

nullspace machine list --state running
nullspace machine list --state paused
nullspace machine list --state destroyed
The public API supports creating, running, paused, destroyed, and error states.

​
Filter By Template Or Metadata

nullspace machine list --template base
nullspace machine list --metadata team=eval
nullspace machine list --metadata-json '{"team":"eval","run":"smoke"}'
Metadata filters match key/value pairs attached at machine creation time.

​
Paginate

nullspace machine list --limit 20 --json
nullspace machine list --limit 20 --next-token nt_...
Use the next_token returned by a JSON response to fetch the next page.

​
Inspect One Machine

nullspace machine get mch_123
nullspace machine get mch_123 --json
nullspace machine metrics mch_123 --json
get returns the current machine record. metrics returns usage and runtime metrics when the host has reported them.

​
Common Follow-Ups

nullspace machine exec mch_123 --shell "pwd && ls -la"
nullspace machine url mch_123 8080
nullspace machine pause mch_123
nullspace machine kill mch_123
