Decide what AI may use. And what it may reveal.
Permission to read a source does not settle how much detail belongs in an AI answer. PrivacyFirst connects access, disclosure policies and tool authority to supported AI work, so your team can make those decisions explicitly.
A useful answer needs the right level of detail.
Consider an operations question about customer activity. Finding relevant records is one decision. Whether the answer may include customer-level details is another. Disclosure policies narrow what an answer may reveal; they never grant access to a source.
Three decisions worth keeping distinct.
Source access determines which authorized material can participate. Disclosure policy determines the permitted detail in supported answers. Tool scope determines which supported operations an agent or application may invoke.
Move from policy intent to operating evidence.
Set a disclosure rule and test the detail it permits on the intended answer path. Workbench policies have a separate promotion process: review the required evidence before enforcing a policy at its supported placements. Saving policy text alone does not activate enforcement. For example, test a promoted Workbench policy on a Chat answer that uses protected organizational knowledge, then inspect its permitted detail and policy decision.
Content policies on supported governed paths can monitor, warn, redact or block configured classes such as personal information, secrets and custom patterns. Detection reduces risk; it does not find every sensitive value.
Give agents a defined reach.
Use scoped MCP profiles, application tool allow-lists and configured human-review paths for supported operations. Check the actual tools, arguments and approval behavior for the job; authority over those paths does not extend to actions that bypass them.
Bring a policy people disagree about.
Choose one real question, a source boundary and an example of detail that should not be disclosed. We can walk through the intended answer, the applicable policy placement and the evidence needed to evaluate it.
