How would you like the feature to work?

Function: integer llIsFriend(key agent_id)

Tests if the agent identified by agent_id is on the friends list of the owner of the script. Returns TRUE if the agent is a friend, otherwise FALSE. If agent_id does not identify another avatar this function returns false.  One of the two agents must be on the region.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

There is no way for a script to determine the friendship relationship between an owner and another agent. This would be useful for security orbs and other features.

Is there going to be an explicit, non-auto-granting permission involved to get this information? As it is sensitive information and despite the convenience with the application mentioned, some users will definitely feel it is no business of anyone, whether land owner, estate owner, estate manager, etc. whom their friends are.

I also see unwanted/inconvenient marketing/profiling exploits with access to this information.

The function checks for friendship between the owner of the script and another agent.  A third party would not be able to get the friendship relationship between two arbitrary agents.

That's not what I meant. What if I don't want a script I didn't compile, but might be wearing or have rezzed, checking this information in secret without my explicit permission?

What if I feel that it is no one's business but my own whom my friends are or aren't?

I think you're right. A permission grant should be required.
