Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Privacyscrubber MCP Tools (23)
audit_context
STEP 0 (Pre-Flight): Non-destructive security inspection of raw prompts or document chunks before sending to LLMs. Evaluates PII, secrets, risk severity (CLEAN, LOW, MODERATE, CRITICAL), and triggered regulatory frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS) with zero text mutation.
sanitize_text
STEP 1: Call this first. You MUST NOT process raw user data before calling this. Locally scrubs PII, secrets, and credentials (like API keys, passwords, emails, phones, names) from code, logs, or text. Replaces them with safe placeholders (e.g., [EMAIL_1], [API_KEY_1]). Keep your data secure before passing it to any LLM. (For in-code backend services or RAG vector pipelines outside of MCP, use '@privacyscrubber/sdk': npm i @privacyscrubber/sdk)
scrub_text
Alias for 'sanitize_text'. Locally scrubs PII and secrets before LLM ingestion.
reveal_text
STEP 3: Call this last. You MUST pass your final generated response through this tool to restore tokens (e.g., [EMAIL_1]) back with the original private data from the local volatile RAM-only session map before showing it to the user.
