That's funny. Some NDAs I've signed prohibit you from mentioning any contact with the company involved (thus you're not allowed to mention the NDA) so my answer would be;

"Under the terms of NDAs I have signed I am not free to disclose that list."

Couldn't the employer convert that into a filter?

I'm not sure I'm understanding your point. Can you elaborate?

From a prospective employer’s perspective: Is the candidate going to respect the NDA you’re planning to ask them to sign?

Similar to asking the candidate what they dislike about their previous boss. Their response may indicate how they’ll talk about you someday.

Oh, right. Yes I agree. We don't get employees to sign NDAs, but the signal about talking about previous employers is definitely something I notice.

So yes, if you get employees yo sign an NDA then this is a filter as well.
