# Postman Passport CLI Community Edition overview

With the Postman Passport CLI Community Edition, you can inspect HTTP and HTTPS traffic from AI agents and developer tools running on your local machine. It captures every API call they make, identifies which credentials are being used, and surfaces findings through a dashboard in your browser or terminal. All processing happens on your machine and nothing leaves it.

To get started, see [Install the Passport CLI Community Edition](/docs/postman-passport/passport-cli/install/).

Each command supports the `--help` option for inline usage information.

## Options

The following options are available on the `passport` command:

**`-v, --version`**

Output the version number.

---

**`--silent`**

Silence all terminal output.

---

**`--color <value>`** — default: auto

Enable or disable colored output. Accepts `auto`, `on`, or `off`.

---

**`--theme <name>`** — default: passport

Set the color theme. Accepts `passport`, `matrix`, `nord`, or `mocha`.

---

**`--no-animation`**

Turn off all motion effects.

---

**`--ascii`**

Force ASCII-only rendering (no Unicode or braille characters).

---

**`-h, --help`**

Display help for the command.

---

The `--theme`, `--no-animation`, and `--ascii` options apply to the [terminal dashboard](/docs/postman-passport/passport-cli/dashboard#open-terminal-dashboard).

## `passport lens`

The `lens` command sits in the request path, capturing API calls from AI agents and developer tools without requiring changes to those clients, and surfaces findings with secret values masked. This helps you catch cases where credentials intended for one service accidentally end up in requests to another.

For more information, see [View and analyze results](/docs/postman-passport/passport-cli/dashboard/) and [Lens commands](/docs/postman-passport/passport-cli/lens/).
