I told my surgeon but haven't had an appt with my PCP. I'll tell him i'm on a compounded GLP but that's where it'll stop.

I actually first took peps from a functional medicine doc who doesn't take insurance, sort of like a higher-end med spa type service. But I have concluded that I won't be going back due to cost, and his records aren't part of the ones on file with my PCP.
My PCP is a chump who is never available and his office is run by a different group of frazzled MA's every time I go there, so I will be looking to switch. I will tell my new doc that I am on Zepbound, but will not mention any of the other peptides, or any of my other historical extracurricular activities. I don't even tell my doctors that I used to smoke when I was a teenager, because I've been lying about it so long that I assume coming clean now would have the potential to create some stupid coverage problems or cost issues if I ever have to purchase my own coverage.

I take MT2 for eye inflammation. The doctors said to take it further, because they can give me steroids instead and those are way more harmful. But in my country the doctors don't give a shit about their patients.

In the US, as others have noted, doctors play by the insurance and drug company rules and influence, I don't care how many times they all tell you they're above all that. In this country if a doctor says you need X medication, the insurance company can and DOES say nope, we don't think you need that. It's insane, there is literally no reason for that middle to even exist, but that's what $$$ buys you when the rules are made.
My next doc will get the info that I'm on Tirz ONLY if it's relevant to something specific, but I'm actively searching for the rare doc (had one for years until he retired) that does NOT think every patient has to report annually or semiannually because the rule books say so. I traditionally go the doc when blood is coming out of some place it isn't supposed to, a bone is poking at an odd angle, or something that used to work isn't anymore. I don't need a doc poking around in me anymore than that.
