# CLI production reads

October 3, 2026 · Console

The Layout CLI 0.2 covers the rest of the build: any endpoint from your terminal, and production when you need to see what happened there. It still never changes production or moves money.

## What changed

- `layout login --live` asks to read production for 12 hours. The console marks the request as production and asks for a sign-in from the last 15 minutes before you can approve it.
- `--live` works on `listen`, `deliveries`, `keys list` and `webhooks list`. Live keys, the live signing secret and every production setting stay in the console.
- `layout api get /v1/places?query=coffee` calls any REST endpoint and prints the answer. It uses your sandbox key, a token you pass with `--token`, or `LAYOUT_SECRET_KEY`. In production it only reads, and only with your own live secret.
- `LAYOUT_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_...` runs `api` and `test-order` without `layout login`, so they work in CI.
- A new `layout login` revokes the session it replaces. A failed one leaves you signed in.
- The CLI tells you once a day when a newer version is out.

## Why it matters

You can debug a production webhook from your own machine the same way you built it in sandbox, and an agent can try any endpoint without writing a client first.

## What to do

Update with `npm i -g @layoutplatforms/cli`. See [Production](https://developer.layout.link/reference/cli#production) and [Call the API](https://developer.layout.link/reference/cli#call-the-api).
