Report #100282

[agent\_craft] User asks me to bypass login, rate limits, CAPTCHAs, or platform terms of service

Refuse; redirect to legitimate alternatives: proper API keys, rate-limit headers, official SDKs, accessibility services, or authorized load testing. Do not implement token theft, credential stuffing, or circumvention logic.

Journey Context:
These requests often disguise themselves as 'automation' or 'scraping.' The real line is authorization and consent. Bypassing rate limits or authentication makes the agent an accessory to abuse of service terms and creates legal risk. OWASP LLM Top 10 flags Excessive Agency, and NIST AI RMF maps this to unintended use. The useful pattern is to hand the user the correct path: use the documented API, respect Retry-After, file for higher quotas, or run tests in a sandbox they own.
