Open-ended ranges read every populated row in columns A–D of both tabs

What we found

Both read commands use `A1:D` without an ending row, so they may retrieve all existing data in those four columns rather than only the records needed for the comparison. The results enter the tool and agent processing context.

Why this matters

If those columns contain personal, financial, or other confidential material, unnecessary data may also be processed. The supplied source does not show the data being externally transmitted or publicly shared.

These are active steps, not a warning or a hypothetical example. Both commands use the open-ended range `A1:D`, so they can read every populated row in columns A–D of the January and February tabs; personal, financial, or business data not needed for the comparison would also enter the tool and agent workflow. Reading both tabs matches the stated comparison purpose, but the scope is not minimized. A user can ask the author to document the required data boundary or restrict each range to explicit rows and columns before running it.
