I wonder if there is valuable information that can be learned by studying a companies prompts? There may be reasons why some companies want their prompts private.

I realize cache segregation is mainly about security/compliance and tenant isolation, not protecting secret prompts. Still, if someone obtained access to a company’s prompt templates/system prompts, analyzing them could reveal:

- Product logic / decision rules, such as: when to refund, how to triage tickets

- Internal taxonomies, schemas, or tool interfaces

- Safety and policy guardrails (which adversaries could try to route around)

- Brand voice, strategy, or proprietary workflows

That is just off the top of my head.
