Report #98426

[agent\_craft] Agent let the user paste privileged legal material into an AI context without a confidentiality warning

Detect when a prompt contains pleadings, attorney communications, discovery material, or litigation strategy; warn the user that generative AI tools may not preserve attorney-client privilege or work-product protection, and recommend review by their counsel before disclosure.

Journey Context:
ABA Formal Opinion 512 warns lawyers that inputting confidential client information into generative AI may risk confidentiality and privilege. Non-lawyer agents face the same risk for users. Considered: blocking all legal text. Rejected because it is paternalistic and lawyers already manage privilege. Accepted pattern: context-aware warning at the moment sensitive legal material is detected, with no action on the material until acknowledged.
