RFC: Add privacy and durability guidance for conversation links #26

@jonathansantilli

Description

@jonathansantilli

conversation.url and related.url are useful but can be ephemeral, access-controlled, and sensitive.

Problem

Without guidance, implementations may assume links are durable/public or store artifacts containing secrets.

Proposal

Add a non-normative guidance section:

  1. Treat links as potentially non-durable and authentication-dependent.
  2. Treat linked prompts/tool outputs as potentially sensitive.
  3. Recommend redaction and secret scanning before persistence/public sharing.
  4. Recommend durable artifact links when long-term auditability is required.

Why This Should Be Added

  1. Improves safety and operational realism.
  2. Helps consumers interpret missing/expired links correctly.
  3. Keeps schema unchanged while improving practical interoperability.

Compatibility

Documentation-only clarification; no schema break.

Scope

This is guidance for handling existing URL fields. It does not standardize authentication or access-control protocols.
