When does this happen?

IF API key hardcoded in source code or committed to version control.

How others solved it

THEN Store the Anthropic API key in a .env file, load with python-dotenv, and add .env to .gitignore to prevent accidental exposure.

echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here" > .env
echo ".env" >> .gitignore
# In code:
load_dotenv()
self.anthropic = Anthropic()
