πŸ“ DESCRIPTION πŸ“

so what it does is, it fetches the description of the key β€” or the keyring, if that's what your serial number is pointing at β€” that's identified by the serial number key_id. like you give it the serial number and it tells you what that key actually is. no cap, that's the whole thing 🧚
