monkeys

Looking without reading

Nothing here prints a stored value. The closest is preview, which answers the question you usually have, which is whether the right value is in there:

monkeys preview
GITHUB_TOKEN        gh...f 40
OPENROUTER_API_KEY  sk...2 73

It shows the first two characters, the last one, and the length. A value is masked whole whenever fewer than five characters would stay hidden, so nothing under eight characters long gives any of itself away:

monkeys preview SHORT_ONE
SHORT_ONE  ... 6

A length and a two-character prefix are enough to tell a key pasted whole from one that lost a character on the way, or one provider's key from another's. To read a value in full, open Keychain Access or your keyring's own browser, where the decision to look at a secret is yours and deliberate.

monkeys help ends with the same ground written for an agent to read: spend a value through run, pass on the message when one is missing, and leave storing to a human.
