Safe sharing5 min read

Share AI work without making it publicly discoverable

Public-by-link pages make reviews and handoffs fast, but safe sharing still depends on clear boundaries and deliberate content choices.

Unlisted does not mean private

A link can be forwarded, logged, included in analytics, or pasted into another system. Treat every published page as content that may reach someone beyond the first recipient.

Never publish credentials, access tokens, private customer data, production secrets, or material whose exposure would create harm. Keep sensitive context in systems designed for confidential access control.

Publish the review layer

Share the plan, synthesis, decision, status, or artifact that someone needs to review. Avoid copying raw internal data simply because it helped the agent produce the result. The review layer should contain the minimum useful context for its audience.

This separation also improves clarity. A stakeholder usually needs the conclusion and its supporting rationale, not every private source the agent consulted.

Rotate when the audience changes

Stable links are valuable while the audience remains appropriate. If a URL reaches the wrong person or the sharing context changes, rotate the public link and distribute the replacement intentionally.

Fast sharing and careful boundaries can coexist. The key is understanding that discoverability controls reduce exposure while authorization controls access—and choosing the right system for each kind of content.
