# overlane operator rows

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Prints rows of one table. Names, emails, IP addresses, tokens, secrets and free text are masked; team and person identifiers are replaced by stable pseudonyms so rows still group. Read-only; each call is recorded in the audit log. Only the Overlane staff team can call it.

## Usage

```sh
overlane operator rows table [--limit N] [--tenant TEAM_ID] [--service URL]
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `table` | yes | The table name, as `overlane operator tables` lists it |

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--limit` | string | no |  | Rows to return, 1 to 100 (default 20) |
| `--tenant` | string | no |  | Only rows of this team |
| `--service` | string | no |  | The service address (default: OVERLANE_SERVICE_URL, then the project's binding, then the hosted service) |

## Examples

```sh
overlane operator rows tasks --limit 5
overlane operator rows audit_events --tenant tm-1234 --json
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema operator rows`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.
