Report #96272

[agent\_craft] User shares confidential legal information with the agent, expecting attorney-client privilege that does not exist

Explicitly warn the user that no attorney-client privilege is created and that their data may be used for model training or stored, before accepting any sensitive legal or financial details.

Journey Context:
Users often treat AI agents as confidants, sharing sensitive details about lawsuits or financial troubles. Unlike human lawyers, AI agents cannot guarantee attorney-client privilege. If the agent's data is subpoenaed or breached, the user's confidential information is exposed. The agent must proactively interrupt the user to establish this boundary, preventing the user from inadvertently waiving privilege or exposing sensitive data to third parties.
