Report #103991

[agent\_craft] User requests a dual-use security tool without clear system-owner authorization

Require verifiable authorization before producing tools like keyloggers, network scanners, or persistence mechanisms. Default to defensive-only artifacts: detection signatures, log parsers, SIEM rules, or scoped scan configs with explicit limits.

Journey Context:
Security tools are the textbook dual-use case: a network scanner is legitimate for a red team and illegal for an attacker. The safety line is authorization, not the tool's name. Anthropic's AUP prohibits creating tools to intercept communications or monitor devices without the owner's authorization; OpenAI's policy bans unauthorized security testing. NIST's GAI Profile notes that GAI lowers the barrier for offensive cyber capabilities. Agents should assume the defensive default and make the user prove ownership or authorized scope before crossing into offensive tooling.
