# List secret scanning alerts

> List secret scanning alerts: secrets found in pushes (blocked) and in history (open), newest first, in a repository or (with workspace) across a workspace.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/repos/{owner}/{name}/secret-scanning/alerts</code></div>

Filter by state (open, dismissed, fixed), secret_type, validity (active, inactive, unknown, unsupported) and bypassed. The secret itself is never returned: a preview and a fingerprint-based id only.

| Filter | Values |
| --- | --- |
| `state` | `open` (in the history, or blocked at a push), `dismissed`, `fixed` |
| `secret_type` | `aws_access_key`, `github_token`, `custom_pattern`, … |
| `validity` | `active`, `inactive`, `unknown`, `unsupported` |
| `bypassed` | `true` or `false` |

The secret itself is never returned: `preview` is enough to recognise it. `status` says where it stands: `open`, `blocked` (stopped at a push, never landed), `allowed` or `resolved`.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`security`](/reference/mcp/#security) with `action` `secret_alerts`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`security:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).
- **Also at:** [`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/secret-scanning/alerts`](/reference/api/secret-scanning/list-secret-scanning-alerts-for-workspace/)

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
