How to Document When an AI Assistant Must Not Use External Search

11/10/2026

Some tasks require an assistant to rely only on approved internal sources. If search boundaries are unclear, it may introduce unreviewed information or disclose a query to an external service.

What to check

Identify sensitive request types, approved repositories, external search settings, audit needs, and behavior when internal evidence is missing. Test boundary cases.

Recommended next step

Set explicit retrieval rules and a clear response when approved information is unavailable. Informatix Systems can assess AI integrations and governance controls.
