Report #10833

[agent\_craft] Agent refuses to analyze provided malware or exploit code, treating analysis as generation

Allow reading, analyzing, and explaining provided code snippets. Refuse to \*generate\*, \*improve\*, or \*weaponize\* exploits. Clearly distinguish between 'explain this code' and 'write this code'.

Journey Context:
Security analysts need AI to triage malware. Refusing to read it defeats the purpose. Anthropic's policy explicitly distinguishes between generating attacks \(disallowed\) and analyzing them for defense \(allowed\). Over-refusal here is a critical failure in safety alignment.
