Use this when adding LLM observability to an app that handles sensitive data (finance, healthcare, PII) and you must NOT ship raw prompts/PII to a third-party tracing backend. Trigger on "redact traces", "PII in observability", "can we self-host tracing for compliance", "GDPR/HIPAA/SOC2 and LLM logging", or instrumenting a regulated app. Get observability without creating a data-leak.
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
# PII-safe / compliant LLM tracing Observability captures prompts and completions - which, for a finance or healthcare app, means you may be shipping account numbers, SSNs, or PHI to a third-party SaaS. That's a compliance incident waiting to happen. This skill adds tracing **without** the leak. ## Decision order (most-compliant first) 1. **Self-host the backend.** For regulated data, prefer an OSS platform you host: [Langfuse](https://github.com/langfuse/langfuse) (MIT), [Arize Phoenix](https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix), [Comet Opik](https://github.com/comet-ml/opik), [Helicone](https://github.com/Helicone/helicone). Data never leaves your VPC. 2. **If using a SaaS backend, redact before export.** Strip/mask PII in the span-processor pipeline so raw values never leave the process. 3. **Or don't capture content at all.** Many SDKs let you record *metadata only* (tokens, latency, model, span structure) and omit prompt/completion text. You lose content-level debugging but keep full cost/perf/shape observability. ## Redaction pipeline (SaaS path) Insert redaction **between span creation and export** so it always runs: …

How to install
mdr add contextjet-ai/awesome-llm-observability/redact-pii-for-tracing@sha256:af14bd54c67aa360The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.76d5de4, 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.
