Overview

A local-first secret leak prevention layer for AI coding agents. It intercepts sensitive data before it leaves the developer's machine, using Rust for performance and low overhead. No external dependencies are required for basic operation.

Best for

Best for
Developers using local or remote AI coding agents who need a lightweight, self-hosted secret guard.

Use cases

• Preventing API keys from being exposed in AI agent prompts
• Filtering credentials before sending code to cloud-based AI assistants
• Integrating secret scanning into local agent workflows

Use cases

• Preventing API keys from being exposed in AI agent prompts
• Filtering credentials before sending code to cloud-based AI assistants
• Integrating secret scanning into local agent workflows

Pros

• Runs entirely on-device, keeping secrets off remote logs
• Lightweight and fast due to Rust implementation
• Easy to integrate as a pipeline step for AI agents

Cons

• Small community and limited real-world testing (15 stars)
• No built-in policies for complex secret patterns beyond defaults
• Requires manual setup and configuration for each agent toolchain
