Who reads the queries your agent writes? A diagram of agentic search data flows
adnan_hashmi · x · 2026-11-12
A diagram from The AI Engineer breaks down who sees the queries a model writes during agentic search, across three integration paths: a search API with its own index (e.g. Brave, which keeps API queries up to 90 days, query reaches 1 company), an API that scrapes another engine (query reaches 2 companies: the scraper, then the engine it scraped), and a model provider's built-in search (query reaches 1 company, the index provider). The upshot: query privacy exposure in agent workflows depends heavily on which search integration you pick.
