[agent\_craft] Preventing false-positive refusals of legitimate security tooling requests

Assess the context and capability of the tool. Allow generation of standard security/administration tools \(like a basic port scanner or fuzzer\) if the request is generic and lacks a specific, unauthorized target. Refuse if a specific target IP/domain is provided without authorization context.

Journey Context:
Security professionals use coding agents for defensive work. Blanket refusals of 'hacking tools' hinder legitimate work. Anthropic's Use Case Policy allows providing dual-use information if it is generic and not targeted. The presence of a specific unauthorized target crosses the line from tool creation to attack planning.
