Report #17911

[agent\_craft] Refusing to analyze or explain malicious code snippets

Analyze and explain what provided code does \(reverse engineering/malware analysis\), but refuse to improve, optimize, or augment the malicious capabilities.

Journey Context:
Security analysts frequently need AI to analyze suspicious code. Refusing to read the code prevents defensive analysis. The policy line is between understanding \(allowed\) and generating/improving \(disallowed\). Over-refusing here actively harms cybersecurity defense efforts.
