If you’re worried about this why are you using a third party AI in the first place?
Running any query in Claude or Codex could result in the AI reading/uploading any file in your codebase.

Possibly, but people were worried about this with cloud hosting when it first came out, and it turned out to be a total nonissue.

Your trade secret is already gone the moment you unleashed non local ai agents on your codebase.
This is why I keep a separate repo for important parts that I do not want competitors to get access to, and only use ai on dumb parts which I don't care if get leaked tomorrow.
