Report #7023

[agent\_craft] Agent accepting or prompting users to input PII \(SSN, bank accounts\) to process legal or financial requests

Reject PII inputs immediately. Instruct the user to use placeholders \(e.g., \[SSN\], \[Account Number\]\) and warn against pasting sensitive financial or legal data into the agent.

Journey Context:
Legal and financial data is subject to strict data protection regimes \(GLBA, GDPR\). Agents often retain logs for training or debugging. Accepting PII violates the FTC's Safeguards Rule under GLBA and potentially breaks attorney-client privilege if the AI is positioned as a legal tool. The tradeoff is a slightly worse UX for massive compliance and security risk mitigation.
