Sanitize AWS Keys Before Sending to Google Gemini

AWS access key IDs (AKIA…), secret access keys, session tokens, and IAM role ARNs present in code snippets, deployment configs, or incident runbooks. — automatically detected and replaced with labelled placeholders before your text ever reaches Google Gemini. Processing runs entirely in your browser. Zero bytes leave your device.

One leaked AWS key costs an average $11,400 in unauthorized charges before detection (Symantec, 2024).

Relevant Compliance Frameworks

This use case intersects with the following regulations and standards. CleanMyPrompt is a data minimisation tool — it is not a substitute for legal advice or certified compliance software.

SOC 2 CC6.1
CIS AWS Foundations
AWS Shared Responsibility Model

Why this matters for Google Gemini: Gemini for Google Workspace has DPA coverage; the consumer Gemini app does not.

What Gets Redacted — Example

Before — unsafe to send
aws_access_key_id = AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE
aws_secret_access_key = wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY
After — safe to send to Google Gemini
aws_access_key_id = [AWS-KEY]
aws_secret_access_key = [AWS-KEY]

Who Uses This

  • DevOps engineers pasting runbooks into AI
  • SREs debugging infrastructure with AI assistance
  • Developers asking AI to review IaC templates

The Regulatory Risk

Exposed AWS keys enable full account takeover, unrestricted resource provisioning, and data exfiltration within minutes. The AWS Shared Responsibility Model places credential protection entirely on the customer.
