What it does

SSM Explorer is a command-line tool for AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store. It lists and searches parameters by path, name or value, opens an interactive browser with live filtering, compares paths across profiles and Regions, and exports to .env or JSON. It only reads from AWS: no put, delete or modify call is ever made.

It works across several AWS profiles and Regions at once, decrypts SecureString values when asked, and prints either readable tables or JSON for scripts.
