WHAT IT DOES

What secret_scan does on ScorpTech x402 API

AI agents call secret_scan to retrieve information from ScorpTech x402 API without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`text`	string	Yes	Text to scan
`redact`	boolean	—	Also return the text with every finding replaced by [REDACTED:<rule>]
`maxFindings`	integer	—
`includeGeneric`	boolean	—	Include entropy-checked generic password/secret assignments

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why secret_scan is rated Low

Even though secret_scan only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs secret_scan safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For secret_scan, this is the rule to start with:

secret_scan Allowed

secret_scan is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "secret_scan": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ScorpTech x402 API, apply this rule, and every secret_scan call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about secret_scan

What does the secret_scan tool do? +

Scan code, config, logs, diffs or prompts for leaked credentials before you commit, share or send them to an LLM: 50+ rules (AWS, GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Stripe, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Hugging Face, npm, PyPI, Twilio, Telegram, Discord, DigitalOcean, Vault, database URLs, JWTs, PEM private keys) plus crypto-wallet secrets (EVM/Solana hex and base58 keys, Solana keypair arrays, checksum-validated Bitcoin WIF, seed phrases) and entropy-checked generic password assignments. Findings carry line/column, severity, entropy and a redacted preview (secrets are never echoed); placeholders and documented example keys are marked; optional fully redacted copy of the input. Price: $0.003 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana). Same tool over HTTPS: POST https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/v1/secret-scan. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ScorpTech x402 API MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does secret_scan accept? +

secret_scan accepts 4 parameters: text, redact, maxFindings, includeGeneric. Required: text. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on secret_scan? +

Register the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for secret_scan: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches ScorpTech x402 API. Nothing to install.

What risk level is secret_scan? +

secret_scan is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit secret_scan? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the secret_scan rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block secret_scan completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for secret_scan. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides secret_scan? +

secret_scan is provided by the ScorpTech x402 API MCP server (https://scorptech.it.com/api/x402/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
