# ScrubMyText — Expanded Agent Index

## Purpose
ScrubMyText is a deterministic preprocessing and text-integrity layer. It is most useful when an AI agent or application needs exact character analysis, pattern detection, redaction, validation, or a reproducible preprocessing step rather than language-model judgment.

## Primary machine interfaces
- REST base: https://api.scrubmytext.com
- Remote MCP: https://api.scrubmytext.com/mcp
- OpenAPI: https://scrubmytext.com/openapi.json
- MCP server metadata: https://scrubmytext.com/server.json
- Developer documentation: https://scrubmytext.com/developers/

## Tool selection guidance
Use scrub_text for mechanical cleanup. Use inspect_text when you need a report without modifying text. Use scan_untrusted_text before consuming external text when structural obfuscation or instruction-like patterns matter. Use detect_secrets when you need findings but not mutation. Use redact_sensitive_text when sensitive patterns should be removed. Use validate_output between model output and a downstream action. Use sanitize_agent_context to prepare external context while retaining a compact risk report. Use prepare_for_agent when one preprocessing call is preferable to orchestrating several tools. Use compare_text when you need deterministic change verification.

## Trust boundaries
- Browser tools run locally.
- API and MCP text is transmitted to the service for transient processing.
- Billing/usage storage is designed to store counters, hashes, plan data, and Stripe identifiers rather than submitted text.
- scan_untrusted_text and sanitize_agent_context do not certify content as safe.
- secret and identifier detection is pattern-based and can have false positives or false negatives.
- validate_output supports a practical subset of JSON Schema, not every advanced keyword.
- ScrubMyText does not claim to remove model-level AI provenance watermarks.

## Pricing and authentication
Free unauthenticated REST/MCP access: scrub_text and inspect_text, 2,500 calls per public IP per UTC month. Paid plans use Authorization: Bearer smt_live_... and unlock all nine tools.
