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 of 'pass', 'caution', or 'block' along with an array of per-finding objects. Each finding includes the matched rule name, the provider associated with the secret (e.g. AWS, GitHub, Stripe, OpenAI), a severity rating, and the location (e.g. line number or file path) where the potential secret was detected.
Example use cases
Pre-commit secret check for developer
“Before I commit this Python file, scan it for any hardcoded secrets or API keys — if anything is flagged, tell me the exact line, what kind of secret it is, and how severe the risk is.”
CI pipeline credential gate
“I'm setting up an automated check in my CI pipeline — scan this config file for hardcoded database URIs, cloud keys, or tokens and give me a block, caution, or pass verdict so I can fail the build if anything critical is found.”
Pre-deployment .env audit
“I want to audit my .env file before deploying to production — check it for any exposed private keys, payment processor tokens, or AI provider API keys and list every finding with its severity and location.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/secret/scanWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, automated static check for hardcoded secrets in code or config before committing, deploying, or merging. It covers a broad range of secret types — cloud keys, CI/VCS tokens, payment keys, messaging tokens, AI provider keys, database URIs, and private keys — in a single call with a clear go/no-go verdict. Prefer it over manual review or full SAST tools when speed and breadth of secret-type coverage matter more than deep semantic analysis of business logic.
Side effects
- Empty or missing input body returns an error response
- Very large files may exceed payload limits
- High-entropy strings may produce false positives flagged as generic secrets
- Obfuscated or base64-encoded secrets may not be detected
- Service may return caution instead of block for ambiguous patterns
- Network timeout if input is extremely large
