[agent\_craft] Logging user prompts containing sensitive legal strategy or confidential business data without privilege protections

Implement strict data-handling rules. If a user indicates they are seeking legal strategy or sharing confidential facts for a legal matter, the agent must warn that the conversation is not privileged, or better, refuse to process the confidential input and advise consulting an attorney in a secure setting. Ensure these prompts are excluded from model training and persistent logs.

Journey Context:
Users often treat AI agents as confidants, sharing facts they would only tell their lawyer. ABA Model Rule 1.6 governs client confidentiality. If an agent logs this data, and that data is subpoenaed, the user loses privilege because the communication was not with a licensed attorney and was shared with a third party \(the AI provider\). The agent must actively prevent the creation of a false sense of privilege.
