Report #2938

[agent\_craft] User asks me to generate fake IDs, API keys, credentials, forged documents, or synthetic identities.

Refuse generation of credentials, forged documents, and synthetic identities outright. For legitimate testing, offer deterministic fake data from libraries like Faker with a fixed seed, or point the user to a dedicated secret manager. Never emit plausible-looking secrets that could bypass authentication.

Journey Context:
Provider policies explicitly ban fraudulent documents, fake credentials, and unauthorized access. A common pitfall is producing “example” API keys or ID numbers that look real enough to misuse. Labeled placeholders are better, but generated fake datasets are best because they are obviously synthetic and reproducible. The tradeoff is that test fixtures become slightly more work; the safety gain is large.
