Pentect
Pentect is a local security tool that sits between AI coding assistants (such as Claude or Cursor) and their model providers. It automatically replaces secrets and sensitive values in requests with safe named handles before any data leaves the user's machine. When the AI generates tool calls using these handles, Pentect restores the real values only at the moment of local execution. This allows agents to work with credentials without ever exposing them to third-party model providers. It supports plugins, structured data, files, and custom upstream configurations.
