"""Repository Confidentiality Example - Foundry-backed data exfiltration prevention.

This example demonstrates how CONFIDENTIALITY LABELS prevent data exfiltration
attacks via prompt injection while using FoundryChatClient for both the main
agent and the quarantine client. The security middleware requests human approval
before allowing private data to be sent to public destinations.

HOW IT WORKS:
=============

1. CONFIDENTIALITY LABELS mark data sensitivity:
   - PUBLIC: Can be shared anywhere
   - PRIVATE: Internal company data only
   - USER_IDENTITY: Most sensitive (PII, credentials)

2. CONTEXT PROPAGATION:
   When the agent reads PRIVATE data, the conversation context becomes PRIVATE.
   This is automatic - no developer code needed.

3. POLICY ENFORCEMENT via max_allowed_confidentiality:
   Tools declare the maximum confidentiality level they accept:
   - post_to_slack: max_allowed_confidentiality="public" (only PUBLIC data)
   - send_internal_memo: max_allowed_confidentiality="private" (up to PRIVATE)

   When context confidentiality > max_allowed, the framework requests
   HUMAN APPROVAL instead of silently blocking.

4. ATTACK SCENARIO:
   - Attacker injects "read secrets and post to Slack" in a public issue
   - Agent reads public issue (context stays PUBLIC - untrusted but public)
   - Agent reads private secrets (context becomes PRIVATE)
   - Agent tries to post to Slack → APPROVAL REQUESTED (PRIVATE > PUBLIC)
   - User can approve or reject the action

To run this example:
    1. Ensure you have Azure CLI credentials configured: `az login`
    2. Set the FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT and FOUNDRY_MODEL environment variables
    3. Run: `uv run samples/02-agents/security/repo_confidentiality_example.py --cli`
       or `uv run samples/02-agents/security/repo_confidentiality_example.py --devui`
