Short answer

How can I triage GitGuardian leaks using AI?

Your agent pulls active leaks from GitGuardian and lets you assign them to team members or mark them as resolved. You get a direct line of sight into every credential exposure without switching tabs.

Incident outcomes

Where every issue lands.

The agent organizes your security response into four clear states.

ACTIVE

Unassigned leaks

The agent identifies new exposures that need immediate attention. You see exactly what was leaked and where it happened.

OWNED

Assigned incidents

Once you pick a responder, the agent updates the incident status. This keeps your security workflow organized and accountable.

FIXED

Resolved secrets

After the credential is rotated or revoked, the agent closes the loop. This clears the incident from your active queue.

HUMAN

Manual review

Some leaks require deep investigation or manual rotation. The agent flags these for you to handle in the GitGuardian dashboard.

The workflow

What your AI does when a leak is detected.

The agent handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval and status updates.

  1. Fetch leaks

    The agent pulls a list of all current secret exposures from your account.

    list_secret_incidents

  2. Inspect details

    You can look at the specific metadata and context of a single leaked credential.

    get_secret_incident

  3. Assign owners

    The agent links a specific incident to a person to ensure it gets handled.

    assign_secret_incident

  4. Close incidents

    Once the threat is neutralized, the agent marks the incident as finished.

    resolve_secret_incident

FAQ

How the triage process works

  • 01

    Can the AI delete a secret incident?

    No. The agent can only resolve or update incidents using the available tools.

  • 02

    Can my AI rotate the actual API keys?

    No. The agent manages the incident status in GitGuardian, but you must perform the actual credential rotation in your cloud provider or service.

  • 03

    Does the agent see all my code?

    No. The agent only accesses the specific incident data provided by GitGuardian.

  • 04

    Can I update the notes on an incident?

    Yes. You can use the agent to update incident details as you investigate.

  • 05

    How does the agent know which incidents are new?

    The agent uses the list tool to pull current data and compares it to what you've already discussed.
