# `eliza config`

Read-only helpers for inspecting the active configuration.

## Subcommands

| Subcommand | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| `eliza config get <key>` | Read a specific config value |
| `eliza config path` | Print the resolved config file path |
| `eliza config show` | Display all config values grouped by section |

## Subcommands

### `eliza config get <key>`

Read a single config value using dot-notation. Nested keys are supported (e.g. `agents.defaults.model.primary`). Prints `(not set)` when the key does not exist, or the JSON-formatted value otherwise.

```bash
eliza config path                  # show which file the runtime loads
eliza config get connectors.discord.token   # read a specific key
eliza config show                  # dump all config values
eliza config --help                # show available subcommands
```

### `eliza config path`

Print the resolved config file path (e.g. `~/.eliza/eliza.json`).

```bash
eliza config path
```

### `eliza config show`

Display all configuration values grouped by section. Sensitive values (API keys, tokens) are masked. Hidden fields are excluded unless `--all` is passed.

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `-a, --all` | Include advanced and hidden fields |
| `--json` | Output as raw JSON |

```bash
eliza config show
eliza config show --all
eliza config show --json
```
