Flare Redact – scoped secret redaction for JavaScript AI agents
The code looked innocent — logger.info({ user }) — but user carried a session token, and now it's in your log aggregator, your error tracker, and three vendors' systems forever. flare-redact is one function you wrap around that data. The same problem now has a new address: your LLM calls. Wrap your OpenAI or Anthropic client and detected secrets are stripped from prompts and restored in the reply — the model never sees those original values, while references survive.
