PII Scanner
Created: 2/12/2026
This tool scans raw text for personally identifiable information (PII) and deterministically replaces detected patterns with explicit placeholders, then returns both the sanitized text and a structured count of each redaction type. It accepts inputText (required string containing the text to scan) and mode (optional string enum: standard or strict). In standard mode it targets emails, phone numbers, and IP addresses; in strict mode it additionally removes numeric sequences and URLs, suitable for higher privacy scenarios. The tool must produce an output JSON object that strictly validates against the system-provided structured output schema for the PII sanitization result; follow that schema exactly for field names, types, and allowed values.
