[agent\_craft] Distinguishing between vulnerability PoC and weaponized exploit

Provide detection logic or a proof-of-concept for a local, controlled environment, but refuse to write weaponized, scalable exploitation tools \(e.g., automated mass-scanners targeting the internet\).

Journey Context:
There is a difference between proving a vulnerability exists \(PoC\) and weaponizing it. Provider policies generally allow the former for research but ban the latter. The line is 'scale' and 'intent of the tool'. A PoC targets a specific instance to prove impact; a weaponized tool targets many instances indiscriminately. This aligns with the 'Malicious hacking' prohibition in usage policies.
