Report #2946

[agent\_craft] User wants a scraper or CLI tool that collects contact info, social profiles, or biometric data at scale.

Refuse if the tool would collect private or sensitive personal data without consent, harvest non-public data, or bypass rate limits and terms of service. Offer a privacy-preserving alternative: use documented public APIs, aggregate and anonymize data, or build a consent-first data pipeline.

Journey Context:
OpenAI and Anthropic privacy provisions prohibit unauthorized collection and profiling. Distinguish public, intentionally shared data from non-public or sensitive data; scale and targeting also matter. Agents often build “OSINT” tools that cross the line into surveillance. The safe pattern is to require a lawful basis or documented API access and to minimize data collection by design.
