We just started to return the "X-Access-Level" header for authenticated API
requests, that tells you what access level the user token has:

- "read" (Read-only)
- "read-write" (Read & Write)
- "read-write-privatemessages" (Read, Write, & Private Message)

The FAQ on http://dev.twitter.com/pages/application-permission-model-faqwill
be udpated in a minute :)

Hope that helps,
