Tork AI Governance for VS Code

AI governance, policy validation, and PII detection for Visual Studio Code. Secure your AI applications with enterprise-grade policy enforcement.

Features

🔍 Inline PII Detection

Automatically detect potential PII (Personally Identifiable Information) in your code and documents:

• Email addresses
• Social Security Numbers (SSN)
• Credit card numbers
• Phone numbers
• IP addresses
• Dates of birth
• Passport numbers
• Driver's license numbers

PII is highlighted with warning decorations in the gutter, and you can quickly redact them with a single command.

📝 Policy YAML Syntax Highlighting

First-class support for Tork policy files (.tork.yaml, .tork.yml):

• Syntax highlighting for policy keywords, actions, conditions
• Auto-completion and IntelliSense
• Bracket matching and folding
• Code snippets for common patterns

🛡️ Evaluate Selected Text

Send any selected text to the Tork API for governance evaluation:

1. Select text in any file
2. Run Tork: Evaluate Selected Text (Cmd+Shift+T / Ctrl+Shift+T)
3. View results in the output panel

Results include:

• Decision (ALLOW, BLOCK, WARN, REDACT, ESCALATE)
• Risk score
• Policy violations
• PII detections

📋 Policy Templates

Quickly insert pre-built policy templates:

1. Run Tork: Insert Policy Template
2. Choose from templates:
   • PII Protection - Detect and redact sensitive data
   • Content Moderation - Block harmful content
   • Rate Limiting - Prevent API abuse
   • Tool Governance - Control AI agent tools
   • Human-in-the-Loop - Require approval for sensitive actions
   • Compliance Logging - Audit trails for regulations
   • Jailbreak Prevention - Block prompt injection
