I read your profile and see that you are a CTO of a fintech. Given that, by what method do you navigate that tool's [explain.dalibo.com] assertion of "It is recommended not to send any critical or sensitive information"?

Is there an explain plan sanitizer that is helpful for this situation?

You can download the whole visualizer as a simple html file and use it this way. No need to obfuscate or sanitize anything at all.

I do the same, but because it became tedious to insert the query & query plan manually, I wrote pev2-cli [1].

Thank you for sharing - I misunderstood - this is a javascript visualizer, and has no additional analytic capability beyond visualization, or did I miss something?

[Defman]

Yeah, you’re right. This is the visualizer that’s linked in the parent comment. I just wanted to point out that you can use it locally without sending your explain plan to anyone. Sorry for the confusion, I’ll edit my original comment.

Whatever the domain, a query isn't necessarily critical or sensitive. It only is if it contains personal information (eg querying by a bank account number or a name), or if the query itself is part of your competitive advantage (unlikely)
