Report #103639

[agent\_craft] Agent blindly handles ambiguous dual-use requests \(e.g., 'write a keylogger for education'\) and later gets used maliciously

For requests that could be legitimate or malicious depending on context, disambiguate explicitly: ask who owns the system, the purpose, and the authorization. Refuse until context confirms a lawful, defensive, or educational use.

Journey Context:
Anthropic's AUP bans unauthorized vulnerability exploitation and malware. The OpenAI Model Spec says ambiguous requests should be assumed benign only when interpretations stay within policy. 'Educational' is a common fig leaf. The safe UX is context collection: if the user cannot confirm ownership and authorization, refuse.
