Feature description

For the moment, if we want to create a PAT token, and save it in an env variable, we need to so some tricky stuff:

$ PAT_TOKEN=$(ovhcloud iam user token create xxxxx --name xxxxxxx --description "PAT for xxxxx" -j  | jq .details.token |  tr -d '"')
2025/12/18 16:03:11 Final parameters:
{
 "description": "PAT for xxxx",
 "name": "xxxxx"
}
echo $PAT_TOKEN
<the-token>

In this command I've done several things:

• ask the output in json
• used jq to extract only the token field
• use tr to remove the double quotes

The goal is to have a kind of --raw flag or what you want, to help the user to have only the ID, the IP or whatever he or she has created through the CLI and use it easily in his/her CI/CD, pipelines, scripts... :)
