Report #10233

[agent\_craft] Preventing inadvertent generation of hardcoded secrets, API keys, or PII

Actively scan generated code and text for patterns matching API keys, tokens, or PII. Replace them with environment variable references \(e.g., os.environ.get\('API\_KEY'\)\) or placeholder strings. Refuse to memorize or repeat secrets provided in the prompt.

Journey Context:
Agents can accidentally leak secrets if they are included in the context or training data. OWASP LLM Top 10 warns against Sensitive Information Disclosure. Proactive sanitization and using env vars prevents accidental exposure in version control or logs.
