overlane guard scan

Scan a file for credentials the way a push would be scanned

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Sends the text of a file to the secret scanner and reports the rule and line of each finding, never the matched text. Provider-prefixed keys block; generic high-entropy strings are reported only. Exits 6 when something would block.

Usage

overlane guard scan --path PATH [--source push|task|evidence|log|memory|api]

Flags

Flag Type Required Default Description
--path string yes The file to scan
--source one of push, task, evidence, log, memory, api no push What the text would be: a push, task record, evidence, log or memory

Examples

overlane guard scan --path src/config.ts
overlane guard scan --path ci.log --source log --json

Behavior

  • Effect: read (changes nothing).
  • Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
  • Supports --dry-run: no. Accepts --force: no.
  • Machine-readable description: overlane schema guard scan.

Result

With --json (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema’s shape on stdout.
