## Output

JSON to stdout. Use `--json` flag for raw JSON on any command (default for single-object responses).

## Notes

- Evolution Go uses instance-scoped auth: the API key identifies a specific instance.
- Phone numbers accept plain format (e.g. `5511999999999`) — the client converts to JID internally.
- The `send_media` endpoint accepts a URL (not file upload).
- The `send_link` endpoint auto-generates link previews.
- All send commands support `--delay`, `--quoted`, `--mentionAll`, and `--mentionedJid`.
