Stop IP and credentials from leaving your codebase

named credential and API key formats detected out of the box — plus entropy detection for anything else

The Problem
Developers paste production configs, API keys, connection strings, and proprietary algorithms into AI coding assistants every day. This is the single most common Pretzel use case.
How Pretzel Helps
Pretzel's entropy detection catches API keys and tokens even if they're not in your keyword list. Keyword rules catch specific internal project names, client names, and database schemas.
- High-entropy string detection (API keys, tokens)
- AWS/GCP/Azure key pattern matching
- Database connection string patterns
- Internal project name blocklist
