piighost Keeps PII Away from the Model
A Python library that replaces personally identifiable information with stable placeholders before prompts reach an LLM, then restores the original values for tools and users.
- For
- Developers building agents with sensitive user data
- Worth noticing
- It preserves stable placeholders across messages, tool calls, and an entire conversation.
Field notes
The project describes a configurable pipeline rather than a single detector: regex, named-entity recognition, and LLM detectors can be combined, with long documents split into chunks for coverage. Its central state-management detail is placeholder stability across a conversation, including tool calls, so an agent can continue reasoning about the same person or object without exposing the source value to the model.
