Create AI DLP Preset

Endpoint

POST /apiops/settings/ai-dlp-presets/{presetName}/

Authentication

Requires a Personal API Access Token with admin privileges.

Header

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

Request

Headers

Header	Value	Required
Authorization	Bearer {token}	Yes
Content-Type	application/json	Yes

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
presetName	string	Yes	Name of the DLP preset. Must match the name in the body (case-insensitive); if name is omitted from the body it defaults to this value.

Query Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
projectId	string	No	admin	Scope project id. Omit for the admin/global scope.

Request Body

Full JSON Body Example

{
  "name": "internal-api-token",
  "ruleValue": "ITK-[0-9]{10}",
  "action": "MASK",
  "category": "internal",
  "description": "Internal service API token",
  "enabled": true
}

Request Body Fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
name	string	No	path value	Preset name. Must equal presetName (case-insensitive); defaults to the path value when omitted.
ruleValue	string	Yes	-	Java regex pattern used to detect the secret/credential. Must compile — an invalid regex is rejected.
action	string	Yes	-	Action applied on match: BLOCK, FLAG, or MASK. DLP is the only preset family where all three are valid.
category	string	No	-	Optional category label (e.g. aws, openai, github, pem, slack, google, jwt, generic)
description	string	No	-	Optional description for UI display
enabled	boolean	No	-	Whether the preset is active

Notes

• The request body must not be empty
• name in the body must match presetName in the path (case-insensitive)
• ruleValue must be a valid Java regular expression; an uncompilable pattern is rejected before the preset is saved
• The preset name must be unique within the caller's visible scope (built-in ∪ admin-shared ∪ this scope) — a collision is rejected
• builtIn is server-controlled and ignored on write — you cannot create a built-in preset via the API
• id is server-controlled and ignored on write

Response

Success Response (200 OK)

{
  "status": "SUCCESS",
  "deploymentResult": {
    "success": true
  }
}

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
status	string	Response status: SUCCESS or FAILURE
deploymentResult	object	Deployment result summary
deploymentResult.success	boolean	true when the preset was saved successfully

Error Response (400 Bad Request)

Returned on validation failure, name mismatch, an attempt to overwrite a built-in preset, or when the caller lacks the ADMIN role.

{
  "status": "FAILURE",
  "resultMessage": "AI DLP preset name in path (internal-api-token) does not match name in body (other-name)!"
}

Other possible messages:

{
  "status": "FAILURE",
  "resultMessage": "AI DLP preset body can not be empty!"
}

{
  "status": "FAILURE",
  "resultMessage": "Built-in presets are read-only"
}

{
  "status": "FAILURE",
  "resultMessage": "ruleValue is required"
}

{
  "status": "FAILURE",
  "resultMessage": "ruleValue is not a valid regular expression: Unclosed character class near index 5\n[0-9"
}

{
  "status": "FAILURE",
  "resultMessage": "A preset with this name already exists in the visible scope (built-in, admin-shared, or this project)"
}

Error Response (401 Unauthorized)

{
  "status": "FAILURE",
  "resultMessage": "Token is not valid!"
}

Notes and Warnings

• Admin Only:
  • Only sysAdmin users (or users with the ADMIN role) can create AI DLP presets
  • A project-scoped AI_DEVELOPMENT token is not sufficient
• Upsert by Name:
  • If a preset with the same name already exists in the scope, this call updates it
  • Otherwise a new custom preset is created
• Built-in Presets Are Read-only:
  • You cannot create or overwrite a built-in (seeded) preset; such attempts are rejected
• Regex Pattern:
  • ruleValue is a Java regex; remember to escape backslashes in JSON (e.g. \\b for a word boundary)
  • An uncompilable pattern is rejected at save time, before it can be copied into a PolicyAiDlpGuard definition list
• All Three Actions Valid:
  • Unlike prompt-guard/privacy presets, DLP presets accept BLOCK, FLAG and MASK — MASK is DLP's own domain (secret/credential redaction)
• Name Consistency:
  • The name in the body must match presetName in the path (case-insensitive)
• No Secret Fields:
  • ruleValue is a detection regex pattern, not a credential itself — DLP presets carry no secret (@SecretData) fields, so no values are masked
