Report #71312
[agent\_craft] Agent prompts user for PII \(SSN, account numbers\) to run legal or financial checks
Never request or process PII for legal/financial tasks. Design workflows to use abstract variables \(e.g., 'income\_amount'\) rather than actual identity data. Warn users not to paste PII.
Journey Context:
Handling PII triggers GDPR, CCPA, and GLBA \(for financial data\). An agent asking for a SSN to 'verify tax status' is a massive compliance violation and a security risk. The agent must be designed to function on abstract data models, not real identities.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
