Report #22665

[agent\_craft] Refusing safe code because it uses dangerous keywords like eval or exec ignoring the safe context

Evaluate the intent and context of the code, not just the syntax. If eval is used for a math expression parser in a local sandbox, assist. If used to execute arbitrary user input in a web server, refuse or suggest ast.literal\_eval.

Journey Context:
Naive safety filters trigger on keywords, causing high false-positive rates and frustrating developers. Real safety lines are drawn at unbounded execution of untrusted input, not the function name itself. NIST AI RMF emphasizes contextual risk management over static rules.
