"""
Centralized sanitization utilities for MCP service user inputs.
This module uses the nh3 library (Rust-based HTML sanitizer) to strip malicious
HTML tags and protocols from user inputs. nh3 is faster and safer than manual
regex-based sanitization.
Key features:
- Strips all HTML tags using nh3.clean() with no allowed tags
- Blocks dangerous URL schemes (javascript:, vbscript:, data:)
- Preserves safe text content (e.g., '&' stays as '&', not '&')
- Additional SQL injection protection for database-facing inputs
