This page lists every format detected by the Secrets preset of the Sensitive Info Guardrail. The preset focuses on recognizable vendor prefixes and structures rather than generic high-entropy values.

Detected Formats

Matched values are replaced with [SECRET:<format-id>] by default, such as [SECRET:github-token]. Setting a custom label on the preset replaces the whole label verbatim, without a format suffix.

What Is Not Detected

The Secrets preset does not use entropy-only detection, bare unprefixed 32-character hexadecimal patterns, UUIDs, or generic hashes. Custom formats without a recognizable supported structure require a custom pattern. The Ethereum private-key format is a deliberate exception: 0x plus 64 hexadecimal characters is detected as one known structure, even though the same shape can also represent a wallet address-related value, transaction hash, block hash, or storage slot. Bare unprefixed 64-character hexadecimal values remain excluded.

Requesting New Formats

If a well-known credential format with a distinctive prefix is missing from this list, contact us or open a discussion. Formats with very low false-positive rates are the best candidates for inclusion.
