rm

mxkey rm [-f|--force] <name>
mxkey delete [-f|--force] <name>     # alias

Deletes the Keychain entry and removes the index mapping. Both are no-ops if the entry isn't there, so re-running is safe.

Example

mxkey rm api.openai
# Remove mxkey.api.openai (OPENAI_API_KEY)? [y/N] y
# removed mxkey.api.openai

Flags

Non-TTY stdin (piped) also skips the prompt — there's no way to answer in script context.

Important — the key is still valid at the provider

mxkey rm only removes the local copy. The actual API key, token, or credential is still valid at OpenAI / Stripe / your DB / wherever it came from. To revoke for real, also rotate or revoke at the provider.
