What is PII Detect?
PII Detect is a critical security skill designed to scan text and identify sensitive data such as names, contact information, and government identifiers. By integrating this tool into your Openclaw Skills workflow, you can ensure that data privacy is maintained during automated tasks, preventing sensitive information from leaking into logs or external AI models. It provides a foundational layer for developers building privacy-aware applications.
Built on top of the Expanso Edge framework, this skill offers high-performance detection that can be run locally or deployed to the cloud. Whether you are building an automated auditing tool or a pre-processing pipeline for LLM prompts, PII Detect provides the necessary visibility into your data's privacy posture within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
PII Detect Use Cases
- Sanitizing logs before storage to prevent accidental PII exposure.
- Auditing user-generated content for sensitive data compliance.
- Filtering text inputs before sending them to large language models in Openclaw Skills workflows.
- Automating privacy checks in CI/CD pipelines for documentation and source code.
How PII Detect Works
- The skill receives text input through a CLI pipe or an MCP server request.
- It initializes the Expanso Edge execution environment using the provided pipeline configurations.
- The text is processed through a detection engine to locate PII entities.
- Structured output is generated, identifying the presence and types of PII detected in the input.
PII Detect Setup
To use this skill, ensure that the Expanso Edge binary is available in your PATH. Install the necessary components using the following command:
clawhub install expanso-edge
You can then run the skill locally as a CLI tool or start it as an MCP server for AI agent integration.
PII Detect Data Schema & Taxonomy
The PII Detect skill organizes its logic through several configuration files to manage different execution modes:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
skill.yaml |
Main metadata file defining inputs, outputs, and requirements. |
pipeline-cli.yaml |
Configuration for running the skill as a standalone CLI pipeline. |
pipeline-mcp.yaml |
Configuration for running the skill as an MCP server for Openclaw Skills agents. |
PII Detect Advanced Features
- MCP Protocol support for seamless integration with AI coding agents.
- Cloud deployment capability to scale PII scanning across distributed environments.
- Standalone CLI pipeline support for integration into existing shell-based automation and Openclaw Skills sequences.
