# nsc egress policy describe

Describe a single egress policy.

`egress policy describe` prints the configuration of a single tenant egress
policy, identified by its tag. Use it to inspect the rules a policy
enforces — e.g. which destinations are allowed or denied — before applying
it to instances or comparing it against another policy.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
nsc egress policy describe <tag> [-o <plain|json>]
```

### Example

```bash theme={null}
nsc egress policy describe default
```

To get the policy as structured JSON instead:

```bash theme={null}
nsc egress policy describe default -o json
```

## Options

<h3 id="--output--o-plainjson">
  \--output, -o \<plain|json>
</h3>

Output format. One of `plain` or `json`. Defaults to `plain`.
