## What happened

Content exclusions are generally available in Copilot app and CLI for Business and Enterprise customers.

## Why it matters

Repository context policies now reach more agent workflows.

## For builders

Exclusions help control context; they do not replace secret management or repository access controls.

## Try this

Check your exclusion policy against the actual files and clients your team uses.
