agent-sanitizer (Python client)

A thin Python bridge to the agent-sanitizer Node.js CLI. The sanitization logic has a single source of truth — the JavaScript in src/ — so this package shells out to the CLI rather than re-implementing it, giving a Python pipeline byte-identical verdicts with no second implementation to keep in sync.

Requirements

  • Node.js (>= 22) on PATH. The sanitizer is JavaScript; something has to run it. There is deliberately no pure-Python fallback.

That's it — pip install agent-sanitizer and, with Node available, you're ready to go. The wheel ships a self-contained, single-file build of the CLI (the src/ logic and its npm dependencies bundled into one .mjs at release time), so there is no separate JavaScript checkout to clone and no environment variable to set. The bundle is a versioned build artifact from src/, not a hand-maintained port, so it can't drift from the JS.

Optional: point at your own JS checkout

Set AGENT_SANITIZER_CLI to a checkout's bin/sanitize-cli.mjs to override the bundled CLI (e.g. to run against unreleased src/ changes). When the module is imported directly from a repo checkout, the source CLI is found automatically.

Usage

from agent_sanitizer import sanitize

result = sanitize("untrusted text", html=True)
print(result.cleaned, result.found, result.warnings)

See the package docstring for the full set of entry points (sanitize_text, classify_prompt, scan_instruction_files, clean_file, and the long-lived Sanitizer worker).

Secret redaction ([secrets] extra)

The base install is dependency-free. The optional secrets extra adds a pure-Python secret-redaction engine under agent_sanitizer.secrets — detect-secrets plus custom detectors, benign-value skipping, cross-line reassembly, PEM collapse, and exact-match redaction of caller-supplied env-var values. Unlike the sanitizer above it needs no Node.js; its only dependency is detect-secrets, pulled in by the extra:

pip install "agent-sanitizer[secrets]"

Every detect-secrets import lives inside this subpackage, so a plain import agent_sanitizer never touches it. The engine shares the parent package's invisible-character SSOT (agent_sanitizer.invisible) rather than forking it — a fork would be a silent security regression.

In-process

from agent_sanitizer.secrets import RedactorConfig, redact, redact_map

redacted, found = redact("aws_key = AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE")
# -> ("aws_key = [REDACTED: AWS Access Key]", ["AWS Access Key"])

# Pass provider/host secret values in — config is supplied, never discovered.
cfg = RedactorConfig(host_cred_vars={"GH_TOKEN": "ghp_realtokenvalue123"})
redact("tok=ghp_realtokenvalue123", cfg)  # -> ("tok=[REDACTED: GH_TOKEN]", ["GH_TOKEN"])

The rehydration map contract

redact_map(text, config) returns a lossless, two-way view:

{"text": "<redacted>",
 "pairs": [{"placeholder": "[REDACTED: …]", "original": "<secret>", "start": <int>}],
 "found": ["<type>", ...]}

Substituting each pair["original"] at its start reconstructs the input byte-for-byte. start is a Unicode code-point offset into text (the field is start, not start_offset). U+E000 / U+E001 are reserved placeholder sentinels: input already containing either is refused with {"unmappable": "input contains reserved sentinel characters"} (fail closed) rather than producing an ambiguous map.

Daemon vs. one-shot

detect-secrets caches a process-global secret_type → plugin mapping, so a fresh one-shot call must re-register the plugin set every time — slow under load. Two console scripts (installed with the extra) cover both modes:

  • agent-secret-redactor — one-shot: reads text on stdin, writes the redaction result as JSON on stdout. Re-registers plugins per call.
  • agent-secret-redactor-daemon <socket-path> — long-lived Unix-socket server that configures the plugin set once at startup (a warm-up scan primes the cache before it binds, so a bound socket means ready). Wire protocol both directions: a 4-byte big-endian length prefix then that many bytes of UTF-8 JSON. Request {"text", "map", "web_ingress", "env_secrets"}; response is the one-shot result, JSON null when nothing is redacted, or {"error": …} on a scan failure.

Both console scripts import the engine on startup, so they fail loud if the [secrets] extra (hence detect-secrets) is not installed — fail closed, never a silent no-op.

Versioning

This package is versioned in lockstep with the npm agent-sanitizer: each release publishes both at the same version from the same commit, and the wheel bundles src/ at exactly that version. So pip install agent-sanitizer==X.Y.Z and npm i agent-sanitizer@X.Y.Z are the same underlying logic.
