Global flags

These flags are available on every command:

Flag	Description
`--no-update-check`	Disable automatic update checks (env: `EVS_NO_UPDATE_CHECK`)
`--config`	Path to a server config YAML file (repeatable; self-hosted operator use)
`--help` / `-h`	Help for any command
`--version` / `-v`	Print version and exit

Authentication

Run evs login --api-url <instance-url> once. The sandbox and memory commands then use the endpoint and credential saved for the active context automatically.

The sandbox and memory commands also accept per-command connection overrides:

Flag	Description
`--api-key`	API key (env: `EVS_API_KEY`)
`--api-url`	API server URL (env: `EVS_API_URL`)
`--tenant-id`	Tenant ID override

See evs login for browser and API-key authentication.
