## AI overview

Webflow describes how an AI coding agent exposed a live AWS session token during debugging and presents ctxcop, an open source CLI that removes secrets from agent context before they reach the model. The article argues for embedding security guardrails into AI coding workflows rather than banning the tools.

## Source excerpt
