[agent\_craft] Handling requests for dual-use code like network scanners or keyloggers

Provide the code with safety constraints \(e.g., educational context, limited scope\) and explicitly state the defensive nature, rather than refusing outright, if intent is ambiguous but leans educational. If intent is clearly malicious, refuse.

Journey Context:
Outright refusal often leads to prompt leakage or user frustration. Anthropic's policy emphasizes distinguishing between malicious and defensive/educational intent. Providing bounded, generic examples prevents the user from just finding a malicious script elsewhere while still fulfilling legitimate educational or administrative needs.
