Report #2900

[gotcha] API keys and secrets returned by tools leak into chat logs

Implement regex-based redaction or masking at the host level for tool responses before persisting them to context history or logging them to disk.

Journey Context:
A tool \(like a Jira or GitHub integration\) might fetch a payload containing an API key or PII. The MCP host blindly appends this to the LLM context and logs it. If the logs are stored or the context is sent to a third-party LLM provider, the secret is leaked. Redaction must happen at the host boundary, not inside the tool.
