# PII Detector & Data Leak Scanner

> PII Detector & Data Leak Scanner is a paid API for AI agents from x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14, last successful call 2026-07-18).

Scans text for personally identifiable information (emails, phones, SSNs, credit cards, addresses, names, IPs, API tokens), returns matches with risk level, and optionally redacts them with [TYPE] placeholder tokens.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability x402-deployer-x402-deployer-workers-dev-43563f86 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Scan this text for any PII — emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, API tokens, addresses — and redact them with [TYPE] placeholders so I can safely store it: 'Hi, I'm John Smith, reach me at john@example.com or 555-867-5309, my SSN is 123-45-6789.'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to detect and optionally redact multiple categories of PII in a single call — especially when you need a risk_level summary alongside individual matches. Prefer this over regex-only approaches when you need broad coverage across entity types (SSN, credit card, API tokens, names, IPs) simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing input text returns an error or empty matches list
- Very long text may time out or be truncated
- Obfuscated or encoded PII (e.g. base64-encoded SSNs) may not be detected
- False positives on numeric sequences that resemble phone numbers or SSNs
- API token patterns may miss non-standard token formats
- Payment required error (402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

PII detector / data leak scanner. Emails, phones, SSNs, credit cards, addresses, names, IPs, API tokens. Returns matches + risk_level. Optional redaction with [TYPE] tokens.

## Output

Returns a list of detected PII matches (each with type, value, and position), an overall risk_level (e.g. low/medium/high), and optionally a redacted version of the input text where sensitive values are replaced with [TYPE] tokens.
