anyone asking for an action that you have as 

/appname/default/index

will be able to see the dict returned by that function using

/appname/default/index.json 

if you're not used to do 

return dict(lots_of_things_private_that_the_view_wont_show)

you are on the safe side.
Security-wise (and mostly plugin-wise) any action should have only the 
views that it has been planned to return (so, no generic whatsoever)
