Redact sensitive data

Protect sensitive data by redacting it from the Akto dashboard and logs.

Redact sensitive data to comply with privacy regulations and prevent unauthorized access. Critical for agent systems handling PII and credentials.

Redaction Levels

1. By Data Type: Redact all instances of a data type (e.g., all API keys)

2. By Collection: Redact entire agent/MCP collection

3. Global: Redact all data across all agents

Important Note

Redacting data affects security testing. Without stored values, agent requests can't be replayed and tested.

How Redaction Works

Values are replaced with *****:

{"agent_prompt": "*****", "llm_response": "*****"}
