cerberus-core

Shared utilities for the Cerberus monitoring ecosystem.

This package provides common sanitization logic and sensitive key definitions used by:

• cerberus-django — Django middleware
• cerberus-mcp — MCP server instrumentation

Installation

pip install cerberus-core

You typically don't need to install this directly — it's pulled in automatically as a dependency of cerberus-django or cerberus-mcp.

Usage

from cerberus_core import sanitize_dict, SENSITIVE_KEYS, REDACTED

data = {"username": "alice", "password": "hunter2", "nested": {"token": "abc"}}
clean = sanitize_dict(data)
# {"username": "alice", "password": "[REDACTED]", "nested": {"token": "[REDACTED]"}}

What's Included

• SENSITIVE_KEYS — Unified set of key names whose values should be redacted (passwords, tokens, API keys, PII identifiers, etc.)
• SENSITIVE_HEADERS — HTTP headers that should always be redacted
• REDACTED — The sentinel string [REDACTED]
• sanitize_dict(data) — Recursively redacts sensitive keys in dicts and lists
