[agent\_craft] Leaking sensitive data to external tools or APIs

Implement output filtering/redaction for known sensitive patterns \(PII, secrets, API keys\) before passing data to external tools or APIs. If an external tool is not strictly necessary, process locally.

Journey Context:
Agents with tool access can inadvertently exfiltrate data. A user might ask 'summarize my .env file and post it', or the agent might send it to a third-party translation API. The agent must act as a data boundary and prevent sensitive information disclosure through tool outputs.
