# PII Redactor / Privacy Scrubber

> PII Redactor / Privacy Scrubber is a paid API for AI agents from x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Redacts PII (emails, phones, SSNs, IBANs, credit cards, IPs, names, addresses, dates of birth) from text using a two-stage regex + LLM pipeline, returning sanitized text and a list of every redacted entity.

## 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-adb427b6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you redact all PII from this text before I store it — 'John Smith called from +1-555-867-5309, his SSN is 123-45-6789 and he paid with card 4111 1111 1111 1111, reach him at john.smith@example.com' — and give me back the clean version plus a list of everything that was masked?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a robust, two-stage PII redaction pipeline that handles both structurally detectable PII (regex) and contextual PII (names, addresses, DOBs via LLM) in a single call, especially for GDPR-safe text processing, log sanitization, or anonymizing user-generated content before downstream storage or API calls. Prefer this over a pure regex scrubber when residual contextual PII (full names, street addresses) must also be caught.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing input text returns an error
- Extremely long texts may hit processing limits or increase latency
- LLM stage may occasionally miss highly ambiguous or culturally atypical PII
- Non-English names or addresses may have lower recall from the LLM stage
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in 402 response before processing

## How this service works

PII redactor / mask emails phones SSNs IBANs credit cards IPs / GDPR safe text / privacy scrubber. Two-stage redaction: a deterministic regex pre-pass for structural PII (email, phone, credit card, SSN, IBAN, IPv4/v6, URL), then Venice mistral-small-3-2-24b for residual PII (full names, street addresses, dates of birth). Returns the redacted text and a list of every (type, value, masked_with) triple.

## Output

Returns the redacted version of the input text (with PII replaced by masked tokens) and a structured list of every redacted entity as (type, original_value, masked_with) triples — covering emails, phone numbers, SSNs, IBANs, credit cards, IPv4/v6 addresses, URLs, full names, street addresses, and dates of birth.

## Example request
