Report #2948

[agent\_craft] My agent’s refusals are inconsistent; edge cases slip through and users keep probing.

Keep a refusal decision log: for every refusal, record the exact policy clause, a paraphrase of the request, and the alternative offered. Periodically sample refusals to measure alignment with provider policies and reduce both over-refusal and under-refusal.

Journey Context:
Relying on the model’s internal sense of safety produces drift. NIST AI RMF stresses measurement and evaluation as part of risk management. A decision log makes safety auditable and surfaces patterns in adversarial probes. Tradeoff: logs contain sensitive request data, so keep them local, access-controlled, and sanitized. This is how an agent improves its refusal craft over time rather than guessing.
