Short answer

How do I stop my AI from writing secrets in code?

Your agent uses this MCP to scan your source files for any plain-text API keys, tokens, or passwords. It identifies these vulnerabilities so you can replace them with environment variables. You'll see exactly what needs to be moved.

Where findings land.

The audit outcomes.

The AI categorizes every leak it finds into these specific buckets.

CRITICAL

Immediate leaks found

The AI identifies active credentials like AWS keys or Stripe tokens. You get a direct list of exactly what needs to be revoked.

WARNING

Pattern matches

The agent flags suspicious strings that look like keys but aren't confirmed. You'll see these in your audit report for manual review.

CLEAN

Verified safe files

Files that pass the scan are marked as clear. This gives you confidence that your current files aren't leaking data.

HUMAN

Manual remediation

The AI cannot move secrets to a manager for you. You must take the identified leaks and manually update your environment variables.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The agent handles the heavy lifting of scanning and classification.

  1. Scan source files

    The agent reads through your local or remote files to look for sensitive patterns.

  2. Identify secrets

    It matches strings against known credential formats like private keys or auth tokens.

    validate_security_audit

  3. Classify risk levels

    The AI determines if a finding is a confirmed secret or just a suspicious string.

    validate_security_audit

  4. Generate report

    The agent compiles the findings into a structured summary for your review.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically move my secrets to a secret manager?

    No. The AI only identifies the secrets. You have to manually move them to your environment variables or secret manager.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my source code?

    No. The AI only reads your files to perform the audit. It does not write or modify your code.

  • 03

    Does it scan every single file in my project?

    It scans the files and paths you specify in your prompt.

  • 04

    Can it detect custom secret formats?

    It detects standard patterns, but you can ask the AI to look for specific string patterns unique to your company.

  • 05

    Is the scan real-time?

    The scan happens whenever you trigger the tool through your agent.
