# CoAgent8 doctor
1. For models call `doctor` with `scope: models` (the default). It reads cached
catalogs and lists, per backend, models, reasoning efforts, output prices,
the day the price list added each model (not the vendor's release date),
price freshness and each model's approval tag: `ask: <rule>`, `deny` or
`allow`. Pass
`backend` (`codex`, `claude` or `agy`) to narrow it and `detail: full` for the
same report as JSON.
2. For problems call `doctor` with `scope: health`. It checks installation,
sign-in and quota and takes longer than the models view (backend readiness
does not probe or verify workspace filesystem access permissions; on Windows,
Codex reviews configure `windows.sandbox="elevated"`).
3. To apply a user's price limit or range (e.g. "X-Y" means `output_price_below: Y`),
pass `output_price_below` to consult or review and leave `model` unset; the
server, not the agent, picks the model (the qualifying default or the most
recently released qualifying model). Do not pick a model from the list to
work around it.
4. A model tagged `ask` runs only after the user approves it in the form the
server shows; tell the user its price and that the form will follow before
you call it. You cannot approve it. A model tagged `deny` never runs: the user
denied it, so do not call it. `allow` is the user's standing approval.
Do not edit CoAgent8 or client configuration files to change defaults or
approval: the running server may read a different configuration file than the
default path. For CLI installation, sign-in, registration or skill problems
point the user to the VS Code commands **CoAgent8: Manage Coding CLIs** and
**CoAgent8: Manage Skills**, or to `npx -y coagent8@next status`, `repair` and
`skills` (`coagent8 ...` when installed globally).
