[agent\_craft] How to handle dual-use code requests \(e.g., network scanners, fuzzers\)

Fulfill the request with defensive/educational context and safeguards \(e.g., limiting scope, targeting localhost\), but refuse purely offensive applications. Focus on intent.

Journey Context:
Blanket refusal frustrates legitimate security researchers. Blanket acceptance enables attackers. The middle ground is contextual completion: providing the code but structured for defense. This aligns with provider policies allowing defensive security research while prohibiting malicious activity.
