Nifi toolkit pg-list fails with message : Error executing command 'pg-list' : null

Hello
I'm running Nifi toolkit v1.12.1 with JDK 8

I'm running into a problem when running the following command
cli.sh nifi pg-list -p /nifi.properties --verbose

I can do a
wget --certificate=./my.pem --private-key=./my.key --ca-certificate=./myca.pem https://xxx/nifi-api/flow/process-groups/root
and get a correct output

Can you help me get the corret output with the toolkit ?

Is it possible to log the toolkit requests / responses ?

The stack trace I get with the toolkit is:

The problem seemed to be caused by wrong access policies on PG under the root.
With the wrong credentials the name attribute of certain PG was not returned
in the response which caused pg-list to fail.
Adding read policy for the credentials on the PGs solved the case. ?!
