How this service works
Arch Tools — pii-detect
Output
A JSON object indicating which PII entities were found in the text (e.g. names, emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit card numbers), their types and positions, and optionally a redacted version of the original text with sensitive values masked or replaced.
Example use cases
Pre-storage PII scrubbing pipeline
“Before we save this user support message to our database, scan it for any PII and give me the redacted version so we don't store personal info: 'Please contact me at sarah.jones@gmail.com or call 555-867-5309, my account number is 4111-1111-1111-1111.'”
Compliance audit of log files
“Check this server log snippet for any personally identifiable information — I need to know what types of PII are present before we ship these logs to our analytics vendor: 'User 192.168.1.1 logged in as mike.johnson@corp.com at 2024-01-15 09:32.'”
Flagging sensitive content in chatbot inputs
“A user just sent this message to our chatbot — scan it to detect whether it contains any PII so we can trigger a privacy warning: 'My date of birth is March 3rd 1985 and my passport number is A12345678.'”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://archtools.dev/v1/tools/pii-detectWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call PII scan without standing up your own NLP pipeline or managing a subscription. It is ideal for agents processing user-generated content, logs, or documents that must be checked for privacy compliance before storage or sharing. Prefer it over general entity extraction endpoints when your primary goal is privacy-focused PII identification and optional redaction rather than broad NER.
Side effects
- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a validation error
- Very long text inputs may hit size limits or time out
- False negatives: uncommon or obfuscated PII formats may not be detected
- False positives: non-PII strings resembling PII patterns may be flagged
- Non-English text may have reduced detection accuracy
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 before processing
