Add redaction annotations to sensitive fields in schemas to block or hash PII. Use when configuring GDPR/HIPAA compliance, protecting credentials, or blocking internal fields from materializations. Use when user says "protect PII", "hide sensitive data", "hash field", "redact field", "GDPR compliance", "don't capture field", "remove field from Estuary", or "prevent Estuary from capturing field".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Protect Sensitive Data with Field Redaction

Add redaction annotations to your collection schema to protect sensitive data at the source. Redacted fields are blocked or hashed before documents are stored or materialized.

## When to Use

- **PII Protection**: Hash emails, SSNs, phone numbers for GDPR/HIPAA/CCPA compliance
- **Credential Security**: Block passwords, API keys, tokens from ever leaving the capture
- **Internal Fields**: Remove internal-only metadata before materialization
- **Data Minimization**: Ensure only necessary data reaches downstream systems

## How Redaction Works

Redaction is applied at write time — sensitive data never reaches Estuary storage, logs, or downstream materializations. This is the earliest point to remove fields, before derivations or materialization field selection.

Redaction only applies to documents captured **after** publishing the annotation. To redact historical data, trigger a dataflow reset backfill on the capture.

## Redaction Strategies

| Strategy | Effect | Use When |
|----------|--------|----------|
| `block` | Removes the field entirely | Field should never exist downstream |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add estuary/agent-skills/schema-field-redaction@sha256:168e8af4c6b293f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.c6e4810, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
