Responsible use

It is not legal or professional advice

Tether and the AI services it uses do not give legal, financial or medical advice. Their output can sound sure and still be wrong.

Supervise the work

• Read what an agent produced before you rely on it, send it or file it.
• Check facts, quotations and citations against the source.
• Approve sensitive steps deliberately. Tether asks you before it uses a stored secret or takes a risky step.

Confidential and privileged material

If your work is confidential, privileged or covered by a duty of confidence:

1. Use Local-only planning for those matters so no planning text leaves your computer.
2. Remember that an AI coding agent you choose receives what it reads. Check that provider's terms before you point it at confidential files.
3. Keep client material out of task descriptions when you use Cloud planning. Passwords and keys are removed automatically, but names and facts in ordinary sentences are not.
4. Check what your professional body or regulator says about AI tools and about telling clients you use them. Rules differ by place and change often.
5. Use a separate project folder per matter and keep each matter's secrets in its own vault entry.
