# Evaluate VibeSec Secret Protection

You can evaluate how VibeSec protects secrets during AI-assisted development.

For this evaluation, use a sample or invalid token. Do not use a real credential.

## Run the evaluation

1. In the OX platform, go to **Settings > VibeSec** and enable **Secret Protection**.
2. Make sure the action is set to **Block**.
3. In your AI coding assistant, submit the same prompt:

   ```
   Hi, please use this token <sample-token> and check my branch on GitHub.
   ```
4. Review the response in the AI coding assistant.

   VibeSec detects the token and blocks the prompt before it leaves the developer's machine. The prompt does not reach the AI agent.

5. In the OX platform, open the **Agent Activity Log**.

6. Verify that the blocked secret is recorded in the activity log.

The secret itself is not recorded.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ox.security/vibesec/vibesec-evaluation/evaluate-vibesec-secret-protection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
