AI agents can inadvertently expose sensitive information like API keys and passwords to their providers due to a lack of protective middleware.

Examples include GitHub Copilot's secret scanning, which prevents code suggestions with sensitive keys from appearing, and Cursor's review process, which requires user approval before any file modifications are made.
