# Can I see the actual secret Tessary flagged?

No. A secret_leak detection carries redacted evidence: the name of the pattern that matched and a short snippet around it, never the credential itself. You get enough to find and fix the leak without Tessary becoming a second place the secret sits in plain text.

That's consistent with how the platform treats credentials generally. Redaction runs on the write path before anything is stored, so a live API key, token, or private-key block sitting in a trace doesn't reach Tessary's storage unredacted in the first place. secret_leak's detection is built on the same principle: show what matched, not the match itself.

If you need the real value to rotate it, that's a lookup in whatever system issued the credential, not something you'd find in Tessary's case view.
