How this service works
Static scan of source code or config for hardcoded secrets and credentials. Detects cloud keys, VCS and CI tokens, payment keys, messaging tokens, AI-provider keys, database URIs with passwords, private keys and high-entropy generic secrets. Returns a go/no-go verdict (pass, caution, block) with per-finding rule, provider, severity and location. Secret indicators, not a guarantee.
Output
Returns a top-level verdict (pass, caution, or block) along with an array of per-finding objects, each specifying the matched rule, the secret provider (e.g. AWS, Stripe, OpenAI), severity level, and the location within the text. Findings are indicators, not guaranteed confirmations.
Example use cases
Pre-commit secret leak check
“Before I push this code to GitHub, scan it for any hardcoded API keys, passwords, or tokens — give me a pass or block verdict and tell me exactly what was found and where.”
CI pipeline security gate
“Scan this deployment config file for exposed credentials like database URIs with passwords, cloud provider keys, or private keys, and flag anything with a caution or block severity so I can fix it before deploying.”
Third-party code vetting
“I just received this code from a contractor — can you check it for hardcoded secrets like AWS keys, payment tokens, or AI provider API keys, and tell me if there's anything I should be concerned about before running it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.agentstools.dev/secret/scanWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap ($0.01) static scan of a single text blob, source file, or config snippet for secrets before committing, deploying, or sharing code. It is purpose-built for agentic workflows that need a go/no-go security signal without standing up a full SAST pipeline. Prefer it over general-purpose LLM analysis when you need structured, deterministic findings with severity and provider attribution.
Side effects
- Empty or missing input text returns an error
- Oversized payloads may be rejected
- High-entropy random strings may trigger false positives for generic secrets
- Obfuscated or encoded secrets may not be detected
- Only static patterns are matched — runtime-injected secrets are invisible to this scan
