Memory Privacy & Segmentation

3 min read

Not all memories should be shared. An agent working on a confidential acquisition should not write deal details to a shared pool that the marketing agent reads. A client's salary negotiation details should not be accessible to the sales agent. Memory privacy ensures that sensitive information stays within the appropriate access boundary.

The segmentation model mirrors organizational access control. Memories are tagged with a classification level: public (accessible to all agents), team (accessible to agents in the same functional group), confidential (accessible only to the originating agent and explicitly authorized readers), and restricted (accessible only to the originating agent and requires human approval for any sharing). The classification is assigned at creation time based on the context — a memory created during a confidential project is automatically classified as confidential. The agent can escalate the classification but cannot downgrade it without human approval.
