Is it possible to check if an attribute is Locked, Connected or driven?

I have a script that is creating keys on the attributes and it would be great to check first if they are doing something else before creating a key. This way, I will be able to decide if I do it or not.

Thanks in advance

int $locked = `getAttr -lock objectName.attribute`;
for the other two you could use listConnections command. It has a flag that you can use to specify what type of connection you want to check for. It would be tricky if it already has a setDrivenKey, because it will be an animation curve that will be incoming in the attribute, so your new keyframe would overwrite it I suspect. Sorry for not having time to test that case more.

Also check out the help examples for the connectionInfo command.
