Report #79606

[agent\_craft] Preventing agent from leaking sensitive data to external services

Implement output filtering. Never include hardcoded secrets in tool calls to external APIs \(e.g., sending a file containing a key to a translation API\). Redact known secret patterns before processing or outputting.

Journey Context:
An agent might be asked to 'summarize this config file and email it'. If the config has AWS keys, the agent leaks them. Agents lack intrinsic privacy awareness; they treat all text as equal content. This violates NIST AI RMF guidelines on secure information handling and maps directly to OWASP LLM06.
