Config-Based LLM Context Key Desensitization Tool
Problem
Users worry that existing key scanners may interfere with legitimate tools, and they want to desensitize specific keys so that LLMs can safely read context without blocking access to configuration files. The current solution lacks fine‑grained, configurable desensitization and does not cover all possible leakage paths.
Pain points
- Concern that existing key scanners may interfere with legitimate tools
- Need to desensitize specific keys without blocking configuration file reads
- Existing tools do not cover all potential leakage paths for keys
Questions to verify
- Are you currently using any tool that desensitizes keys before providing context to an LLM?
- Would you be willing to specify which keys need desensitization via a whitelist configuration?
- Do you need the tool to integrate seamlessly with your existing CI/CD pipelines?

I never installed any "secrets scanner", because of fear it might mess with legitimate tool usage / model context in unexpected ways.
fact
It does not block reading `.env.local` but only redacts secrets that were configured in the setup step.
