Privacy

pytest-llm-report is designed with privacy as a priority.

Default Behavior

By default, no data leaves your machine: - LLM provider is "none" - All processing is local - Reports are local files only

When LLM is Enabled

If you enable an LLM provider:

Provider	Data Destination
none	Nowhere (default)
ollama	Your local Ollama server
litellm	External cloud provider
gemini	External cloud provider

What's Sent to LLM

Only when explicitly enabled: - Test function source code - Covered file contents (based on context mode) - Test nodeid

What's Never Sent

• Environment variables
• Credentials or secrets
• System information
• Test output (stdout/stderr)

Protecting Sensitive Code

Opt-out specific tests

@pytest.mark.llm_opt_out
def test_sensitive():
    pass

Exclude files from context

[tool.pytest_llm_report]
llm_context_exclude_globs = [
    "*secret*",
    "*proprietary*",
    "internal/*",
]

Use minimal context

[tool.pytest_llm_report]
context_mode = "minimal"  # Only test code, no covered files
