Security.
Your keys stay on your computer. fieldtrip saves each key in a file only you can read, and gives it to your AI's own settings. Your Terminal doesn't get it.
fieldtrip keeps a receipt of every change it makes, with fingerprints of keys, never the keys themselves, so fieldtrip remove can undo exactly what it did.
Every tool comes from the company that makes it, and fieldtrip checks it hasn't been tampered with before installing: against the company's own checksums, or the npm registry's. If it doesn't match, nothing is installed. Tools that come through Homebrew are checked by Homebrew.
Limited keys. For each tool, fieldtrip tells you how to make a key that can only do what your AI needs. The company enforces those limits, not fieldtrip.
