steamguard-cli does not respond to trade offers. It responds to mobile confirmations.

  1. You receive a trade offer.
  2. In Steam, you look at the offer and respond to it (click on "Respond to Offer")
  3. If you have any items on your side of the trade, Steam will send a confirmation to your "mobile device" (which is steamguard-cli in this case)
  4. steamguard-cli will then see the confirmation and allow you to allow the trade to go through, or deny it. IIRC denying it gives you a temporary trade ban to prevent your items from being stolen.

For this trade in particular, it won't need a confirmation because you don't have anything on your side of the trade.
