LLMRetryPolicy sends the failing task's exception message to a third-party LLM, which can leak connection strings, credentials, or PII. The message now passes through Airflow's secrets masker by default; set redact_exception=False to send the raw text when it is known to be safe.
The Parameters table and "How it works" walkthrough for LLMRetryPolicy didn't mention that the exception message is redacted through Airflow's secrets masker by default, and the "Local LLM support" section read as if that were the only safeguard against leaking exception data to a third-party LLM.
