Report #2128

[agent\_craft] All requests for security or exploit code should be refused regardless of context

Evaluate dual-use requests against the user's demonstrated context and specificity. If the request includes specific, real infrastructure context \(a pen test on their own system with authorization\), provide defensive-oriented help. If it's generic \('write a generic SQL injection tool'\), refuse — lack of specificity signals malicious intent.

Journey Context:
Both Anthropic and OpenAI usage policies explicitly allow security research assistance with appropriate context. The key insight: legitimate security professionals always have specific context — they're testing a particular system, with authorization. Generic tooling requests without context are the red flag. The mistake most agents make is binary: either refusing everything \(hurting legitimate security work\) or allowing everything with a weak 'only use ethically' disclaimer. The right call is requiring specificity as the gate. OWASP LLM Top 10 \(LLM01\) notes that context-aware evaluation is more robust than blanket rules.
