secrets is the one plural noun; secret is a hidden alias. It is the same vault the dashboard’s Secrets page writes, reached with your API key. The same three operations exist on the SDK’s Evolve.managedSecrets(). A read-only API key may list but not set or delete (read_only_key). LLM provider keys cannot be stored here; they decide who pays and stay on the dashboard.

secrets set

Store an env secret, or re-shape its delivery or scoping by restating the same value. A different value under an existing name and label is refused (secret_exists, 409): delete first, or use another label. Never a silent overwrite. NAME matches [A-Z_][A-Z0-9_]{0,127}, uppercased for you; the EVOLVE_ prefix is reserved.
value
The secret value, at most 190 bytes of UTF-8. Omit it to pipe the value on stdin, which keeps it out of shell history; one trailing newline is stripped from the pipe. A terminal with neither channel is a usage error, never a hang.
label
default:"default"
Labeled-row identity, at most 80 characters of [A-Za-z0-9._-]. Several values of one name live side by side.
mode
required
brokered: the value never enters a sandbox, and needs the --allowed-* scoping. direct: the raw value in the sandbox env; scoping refused.
host
Brokered scoping: a hostname, or a wildcard like *.example.com. Repeatable.
/prefix
Brokered scoping: an allowed URL path prefix. Repeatable.
METHOD
Brokered scoping: an allowed HTTP method. Repeatable.

secrets list

List your env secrets. Metadata only; values never leave the server.
keys | all | help
Choose and order columns, comma-separated. help lists the keys.
Print only name[:label], one per line.
Full cell content instead of one-line truncation.
Omit the header row in piped (TSV) output.

secrets delete

Delete an env secret by name. Revokes every runtime grant riding the row. Rotate a value by delete then set, or store the new value under another label.
label
The labeled row to delete. Omitted, it resolves as an attachment does: the default row, else the only row, else refused with secret_ambiguous naming every label.

Global options

Machine-readable JSON output.
key
API key. Defaults to $EVOLVE_API_KEY.
