| Safety notes | — missing | ✓LangChain4j can bind model calls to Java tools, MCP tools, RAG retrievers, and framework services. Treat each tool as application code with permissions, side effects, and audit requirements. The MCP tutorial supports stdio, Streamable HTTP, WebSocket, Docker stdio, and legacy HTTP/SSE transports. Review subprocess commands, Docker socket access, server URLs, and credentials before connecting agents. Use MCP tool filtering and tool-name mapping when a server exposes many tools or overlapping tool names; do not expose write-capable tools by default. RAG examples may read local directories, parse documents, and store embeddings in external vector stores. Scope ingestion paths and retention rules before indexing private data. The agentic module is documented as experimental, so teams should pin versions, test workflows, and avoid relying on unstable APIs for critical production behavior. | ✓Open WebUI can run Python function-calling tools, RAG ingestion, web search, web browsing, image generation, plugins, and model/provider integrations; review each capability before enabling it for untrusted users. Docker examples expose web ports and persistent volumes. Mount persistent data, set admin/auth controls, and avoid treating demo defaults as production hardening. Python function tools and plugin pipelines can execute application logic and access configured services. Restrict tool creation and plugin installation to trusted administrators. RAG and web browsing can ingest local documents, URLs, cloud files, and extracted text; test indexing quality and permissions before exposing private corpora to users. Open WebUI uses a custom Open WebUI License with branding restrictions and enterprise-license exceptions. Verify license terms before redistribution, white-labeling, or commercial deployment. | ✓Qwen-Agent can call custom tools, MCP tools, built-in code interpreter tools, RAG retrievers, browser-assistant workflows, and model-service APIs; review each tool for side effects before exposing it. The code interpreter uses Docker-based isolation and the upstream README still says to use it with caution in production, so treat it as a risky execution surface rather than a full security boundary. MCP configurations can expose filesystem, memory, SQLite, SaaS, browser, or internal API tools to the agent; scope paths and credentials narrowly. RAG and long-document workflows can retrieve untrusted text into the model context; defend against prompt injection and stale or unauthorized source documents. DashScope, vLLM, Ollama, and OpenAI-compatible deployments each have different tool-call parsing, model, reasoning, and operational behavior; test the exact route before relying on agent output. |
| Privacy notes | — missing | ✓Prompts, chat memory, tool arguments, tool outputs, retrieved document chunks, embeddings, vector-store metadata, model responses, logs, and MCP traffic may include private application or customer data. Model providers, embedding providers, vector stores, MCP servers, framework logs, tracing systems, and Java application logs may observe or retain LangChain4j workflow data. Do not commit provider keys, MCP server credentials, vector database secrets, local document paths, generated traces, or raw RAG datasets. If request/response or MCP transport logging is enabled for debugging, review logs before sharing them because they can include prompts, tool payloads, retrieved content, and credentials. | ✓Chats, prompts, uploaded files, document chunks, embeddings, vector metadata, web search results, browser-fetched pages, Python tool inputs, plugin outputs, voice/video data, logs, metrics, and traces may contain private data. Configured model providers, vector databases, document extraction engines, web search providers, image providers, object storage, Redis, auth providers, and observability backends may receive user data. Keep provider keys, OAuth/LDAP/SSO secrets, database URLs, object storage keys, plugin credentials, uploaded files, RAG indexes, and OpenTelemetry exports out of public repos and screenshots. Define retention, deletion, tenant separation, group permissions, export policy, and audit review before using Open WebUI as a shared internal workspace. | ✓Prompts, chat history, function-call arguments, tool results, MCP tool payloads, code-interpreter files, RAG documents, embeddings, browser-assistant state, GUI sessions, model responses, and logs can contain sensitive data. Do not place DashScope keys, model-service credentials, private files, customer documents, database contents, browser state, or internal URLs in public examples, notebooks, screenshots, or logs. Self-hosted Qwen model services and DashScope routes have different retention, telemetry, network, and access-control boundaries; review them before processing regulated or proprietary data. Code interpreter containers, mounted working directories, generated files, and RAG indexes need cleanup, retention, and access-control policies. |
