Yes, absolutely.

You can fine-tune the sensitivity via the PII_ENTROPY_THRESHOLD environment variable.

If you consider UUIDs to be sensitive in your context (or if you are getting false positives), you can adjust the threshold. For example, standard UUIDs have lower entropy density than API keys, so slightly tuning the value (e.g. from 3.8 to 3.2 or vice-versa) allows you to draw the line where you need it.

Is there a way to tell it to just recognize UUIDs and redact those without adjusting the threshold? In our case, UUIDs is just an exception. I think all the other stuff you're doing is correct for our situation.

Currently, no — the scanner focuses on entropy and specific Key Names, not value patterns (Regex).

However, if your UUIDs live in consistent fields (e.g., request_id, trace_token, uuid), you can add those field names to the Sensitive Keys list. This forces redaction for those specific fields regardless of their entropy score, while keeping the global threshold high for everything else.

That said, "Redact by Value Regex" (to catch UUIDs anywhere) is a great idea. I'll add it to the backlog.
