Summary

• Add LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_CONTENT to control whether prompt and response content is included in exported traces.
• Redact recognized input, output, and tool content attributes as [REDACTED] when capture is disabled, preserving trace structure and non-content attributes.
• Document the option and add tests for redaction and the default behavior.

Motivation

Some users have privacy requirements that prevent sending prompt and response text to Langfuse. This option keeps trace observability while allowing content to be removed before export.

Configuration

Set LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_CONTENT=false to redact content. Content capture remains enabled by default for backward compatibility.

Validation

• bun run test
• bun run typecheck
• bun run lint
• bun run format:check
• bun run build

Closes #23

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Content capture for Langfuse traces can be disabled with LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_CONTENT. When set to false (case-insensitive), recognized input and output content is replaced with [REDACTED] before export, while trace structure and non-content attributes are preserved. Capture remains enabled by default; values such as 0 do not disable it.
  • Startup logs report whether content capture is enabled or disabled.
• Documentation
  • Documented the environment variable, its default behavior, and how to disable content capture.

Walkthrough

The plugin adds LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_CONTENT, enabled by default. When its trimmed, case-insensitive value is false, a span processor redacts recognized content attributes before the Langfuse processor runs.

Changes: Content capture control

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capture setting and redaction src/index.ts	The plugin reads LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_CONTENT and adds a span processor that redacts recognized content attributes when capture is disabled.
Processor flow and validation src/index.ts, src/index.test.ts, README.md	When capture is disabled, the SDK runs the redaction processor before the Langfuse processor. Tests cover redaction, preserved attributes, the "0" setting, and startup logs. The README documents the setting and its default.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to df611

The carried-forward tool-call privacy concern is resolved, with no concrete merge-blocking risk identified.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to df611

The change reduces exported content when explicitly enabled and preserves existing behavior otherwise. No concrete new disclosure path was established, but the control covers recognized attribute names rather than every possible location of sensitive content, and complete export-path validation remains incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The control affects spans delivered to the plugin-configured NodeSDK and its existing Langfuse destination. It adds no tenant-specific policy or new export authority; the compared implementation retains the existing credentials and destination configuration.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The new control sits between application span attributes and Langfuse processing. Its decision depends on attribute names, not content inspection: matching values are replaced wholesale, while unmatched fields pass through. This is a recognized-field privacy filter, not a general secret-removal boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The tests establish local replacement and processor selection, but mock Langfuse without an onEnd or export implementation. They therefore do not establish outgoing-payload privacy, retry behavior, or shutdown-path behavior with the real consumer. Complete producer-schema coverage also remains unresolved.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Add an export-boundary contract check using representative producer spans and the supported processor versions, verifying redacted outgoing payloads during normal export, flush, shutdown, and retry. Keep the documented recognized-field scope aligned with producer schema changes.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Add an option to disable content capture" matches the main change. The PR adds a LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_CONTENT option, and setting it to "false" redacts input/output content in exported traces. The title is short, specific, and matches the linked issue #23 request for a way to stop sending input and output text to Langfuse. It does not name the env var or the redaction behavior, but it does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #23 requires a way to prevent input and output text from being sent to Langfuse. src/index.ts reads LANGFUSE_CAPTURE_CONTENT, keeps capture enabled by default, and disables capture for trimmed, case-insensitive false. The redaction span processor replaces recognized input, output, prompt, response, and tool-content attributes with [REDACTED] before the Langfuse processor runs. src/index.test.ts verifies redaction, preservation of non-content attributes, the default behavior, and the explicit disable value.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within Issue #23. The source change implements the capture option and content redaction. The README documents the option. The tests cover the new behavior and the default behavior. No unrelated implementation or documentation change is shown.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 2 files.

Follow-up: content redaction now also covers AI SDK tool-call attributes ai.toolCall.args and ai.toolCall.result. Added regression coverage for both fields; all checks pass.
