How would you prevent cross-tenant leakage in an AI pipeline?

Carries trusted tenant scope through retrieval, caches, memory, tools, traces, evaluations, and asynchronous execution.

TL;DR

Tenant identity comes from the authenticated application context and is propagated through every retrieval, tool, cache, memory, file, and background-work boundary. The model cannot choose or override that scope. Data stores enforce tenant or document authorization before content enters context, and generated answers never become a trusted source of tenant identity.

Overview
Tenant isolation must survive every AI-specific store and transformation, not just the primary database query.
Tenant identity comes from the authenticated application context and is propagated through every retrieval, tool, cache, memory, file, and background-work boundary.

Stronger answer
Optional upgrade with examples, trade-offs, and sharper phrasing.
Cache and conversation keys include tenant and authorization-relevant versions, while shared indexes use enforced metadata filters or physical separation according to risk. Tool executors re-authorize the target resource even when retrieval already returned it. Traces, evaluations, support exports, and feedback are isolated too, because operational data often contains the same sensitive prompts and responses as the product path.
