AI That Never Sees Your Real Data

RESTK's schema extraction engine strips credentials, tokens, and PII before anything reaches AI. Your AI assistant reasons about structure and types — never your actual data. Every AI interaction is logged in a full audit trail.

Your API returns:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "api_key": "sk-live-abc123",
  "balance": 42850.00
}

AI sees:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "api_key": "[REDACTED]",
  "balance": 12345.67
}
