About Shepherd Terminal

Run coding agents across tabs, panes, and remote machines. Shepherd keeps terminal sessions alive when the app closes, tracks which agents are working or waiting, and lets you return to their files and changes without losing context. Agents understand the current Shepherd context, control tabs and panes, and collect feedback through browser reviews, while you monitor every agent’s status in real time.

About Privent 2.0

Privent 2.0 is a dedicated runtime data control solution designed specifically to secure n8n workflows. In standard AI workflows, agents frequently transmit raw, sensitive information—including emails, database records, API keys, and secrets—to Large Language Models (LLMs) on every run. While n8n's native Guardrails node can redact this information, that redaction is permanent, preventing the workflow from reclaiming the original data once processed.

Privent 2.0 resolves this issue by tokenizing PII and secrets before they reach the LLM, and then safely reversing the tokenization at a trusted sink to restore the original data. As an Official n8n Integration Partner, it is built for production teams running complex agent workflows that cannot afford a single leaked record. For teams requiring strict data boundaries and absolute compliance, Privent 2.0 also features a Local mode that runs entirely offline.

Pros of Privent 2.0

  • Tokenizes PII and secrets before they reach LLMs, avoiding permanent data loss
  • Safely reverses tokenization at a trusted sink to restore original data
  • Offers a Local mode that runs fully offline
  • Official n8n Integration Partner built specifically for production workflows

Cons of Privent 2.0

  • Focuses specifically on n8n workflows, which may limit teams using other orchestration platforms
  • Requires configuring a trusted sink to reverse the tokenization process

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Privent 2.0 differ from n8n's native Guardrails node?

While n8n's native Guardrails node permanently redacts sensitive information (making it unrecoverable), Privent 2.0 tokenizes PII and secrets before they reach the LLM, allowing the tokenization to be safely reversed later at a trusted sink.

Does Privent 2.0 support offline environments?

Yes, Privent 2.0 features a Local mode that runs fully offline, making it suitable for teams with strict security and compliance mandates.

Is Privent 2.0 officially integrated with n8n?

Yes, Privent is an Official n8n Integration Partner, designed specifically for production teams running AI agent workflows.
