## MCP tools (3)

### `redact_text` (~85 tokens)

Redact personal data in a text and return the redacted text plus the detected entities
(type, position, placeholder). Original values are not returned.

Input parameters:

- `mode` (string): "label" replaces with [TYPE_n] placeholders, "mask" with asterisks.
- `text` (string, required): Text to redact.
- `types`: Only these types; default all.

### `redact_file` (~135 tokens)

Redact a text file into a new file without showing its contents. Returns only counts per type,
so the personal data never enters the conversation.

Input parameters:

- `input_path` (string, required): UTF-8 text file to redact (.txt, .md, .csv, .json, .log, .eml...).
- `output_path` (string, required): Where to write the redacted copy.
- `overwrite` (boolean)
- `save_mapping` (boolean): Also write <output_path>.map.json (owner-only permissions) so restore_file can put the original values back later.
- `types`: Only these types; default all.

### `restore_file` (~102 tokens)

Put the original values back into a file, locally (no API call). Returns only how many
placeholders were restored, not the values.

Input parameters:

- `input_path` (string, required): File containing placeholders, e.g. an edited redacted file or an LLM answer saved to disk.
- `mapping_path` (string, required): The .map.json written by redact_file.
- `output_path` (string, required): Where to write the restored file.
- `overwrite` (boolean)
