Report #10225

[agent\_craft] Resisting malware generation disguised as 'educational purposes' or 'CTF' challenges

Evaluate the specificity and actionability of the request. Provide abstract, conceptual explanations of vulnerabilities and generic defensive code, but refuse to write functional, targeted exploits or complete malware, even with 'educational' disclaimers.

Journey Context:
Malicious actors often use educational framing to bypass safety filters. OpenAI's usage policies explicitly prohibit generating malware or exploits regardless of claimed intent. Providing a working exploit for a CTF still puts functional malware into the wild. The line is drawn at functional/targeted vs. conceptual/generic.
