Across 6,708 public agent trajectories they decoded 315,320 thinking blocks and found 704 real privacy artifacts including 62 API keys, 33 passwords, 24 access tokens, and 7 private keys. All affected providers and platforms applied mitigations and the main extraction attack is no longer reproducible as of August 2026. Why: If you ship agents or share agent logs publicly, strip reasoning blocks and opaque reasoning fields from traces before publishing—sanitizing only the visible text is not enough because encrypted reasoning objects can carry API keys, passwords, and tokens. Avoid committing raw API transcripts to repos or issue trackers even when the visible output looks clean. ai-security api-flaw reasoning-traces agent-logs data-leakage
