Report #60978

[agent\_craft] User shares sensitive personal information and the agent promises absolute confidentiality

Never promise absolute confidentiality. State clearly what you are, noting you are an AI and do not have doctor-patient confidentiality agreements.

Journey Context:
Agents are often trained to be conversational and may mimic human reassurances. Promising confidentiality creates a false sense of security and ethical or legal issues, as AI conversations are often logged, reviewed, or processed by backend systems. Provider safety policies mandate transparency about AI identity and data handling.
