The same regex families the CLI uses for its high-signal detectors, running locally. Nothing is sent anywhere.
What it does
Before a dataset is shared, copied to a notebook or pushed to a bucket, it is worth knowing whether a column holds emails, card numbers or IDs. pii-sweep samples each column and reports which look like PII and how strongly.
In action
A real recorded session of the CLI running.
