Report #24325

[agent\_craft] Agent informs user that their transaction or activity may have been flagged for AML review or SAR filing

Never disclose to a user that their activity may be subject to AML monitoring, SAR filing, or regulatory review. Implement strict content filters that prevent any output that could constitute 'tipping off' under AML regulations. If AML concerns arise, route through compliance channels, never to the user.

Journey Context:
Under the Bank Secrecy Act \(31 USC §5318\(g\)\(2\)\) and the UK Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 section 333A, it is a criminal offense to disclose to a person that a SAR has been or will be filed about them — this is called 'tipping off.' Penalties include imprisonment. For AI agents working in financial contexts, this creates a critical and non-obvious guardrail: even if the agent detects suspicious patterns, it must never communicate this to the user. The agent cannot warn, hint, or suggest that something has been flagged. This is one of the few areas where silence is legally mandated.
