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

RISK

Why text.redact is rated Low

Tool analyzes text to identify and redact credentials without side effects, state changes, or external operations.

From the tool's definition Redact secrets from text before logging, storing, or sharing. Keyless pure compute — nothing is stored.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs text.redact safely

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

text.redact Allowed

text.redact 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": {
    "text.redact": {}
  }
}

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

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp, apply this rule, and every text.redact call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about text.redact

What does the text.redact tool do? +

Deterministically redact secrets from text before logging, storing, or sharing. Keyless pure compute — nothing is stored. Each credential is replaced in-place with a [redacted:<kind>] marker (surrounding text preserved) and you get per-kind counts. Detects PEM private keys, JWTs, AWS access-key ids, GitHub/Stripe/OpenAI/npm/Slack/Google tokens, HTTP Bearer tokens, scheme://user:password@host URLs, and generic api_key/secret/token/password assignments. Idempotent. Pairs with store.doc-put redact=true. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on text.redact? +

Register the MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for text.redact: 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 Mcp. Nothing to install.

What risk level is text.redact? +

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

Can I rate-limit text.redact? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the text.redact 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 text.redact completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for text.redact. 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.
