Many LLM coding assistants redact secrets from tool-call parameters but not from text rendered back in chat. That asymmetry means a long curl one-liner pasted as a regular message can leak a service-role key on screen even when the same value would be redacted if passed as a structured argument. For sensitive credentials, the safer move is to have the user run the command locally rather than rely on the chat renderer to scrub it.
