Contextual Candour: Role-Aware Graduated Disclosure for LLMs over Mixed-Sensitivity Contexts
LLMs increasingly operate over mixed-sensitivity contexts, where they must reason over information ranging from public to confidential while disclosing only what the user is authorised to receive. Existing approaches enforce access control as a binary decision: either fully answering or refusing, without regulating how much or what kind of information is revealed if access is granted, leading to over-refusal or unintended leakage.

We model graduated disclosure as a disc...
