Storing aws ssm parameter as variable in bash script

Question

When I run the following command:

aws ssm get-parameter --name production.team.platform.creds --with-decryption --output text --query Parameter.Value

I get this output:

{
    "type": "client_credentials",
    "client_id": "internal-test",
    "client_secret": "..."
}

I'd like be able to pull an indvidual parameter such that I could store it as a variable in a bash script like so:

TYPE=aws ssm get-parameter --name production.team.platform.creds --with-decryption --output text --query "Parameter.type"

echo $TYPE

In this iteration get the error ssm: command not found

When I get rid of the variable assignment and just run

aws ssm get-parameter --name production.team.platform.creds --with-decryption --output text --query "Parameter.type"

It returns none.

I tried referencing this solution Retrieve only one parameter value from aws ssm get-parameter command?

But did not find the formatting worked in my case.
