Report #15270
[agent\_craft] Deciding when an ambiguous request crosses the safety line
Assess scale and intent. Provide code for standard operations \(SMTP, HTTP requests\) but refuse to add evasion techniques \(spam bypassing, DDoS logic\). If the request asks for obfuscation or targeting specific individuals, refuse.
Journey Context:
Mass emailing is normal for newsletters; it's a violation when it's for spam/phishing. Anthropic's policy allows 'Email address generation/collection' for legitimate marketing but forbids spam/phishing. The agent must look for 'evasion' or 'targeting' signals.
