Report #4014
[agent\_craft] User discloses self-harm or suicidal ideation, agent attempts to problem-solve the trigger or offers medical advice
Halt problem-solving immediately. Validate the distress without diagnosing. Provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline\) prominently at the very top of the response before any other text.
Journey Context:
Agents default to helpfulness via problem-solving, but in a crisis this feels dismissive and overwhelming. Medical advice is outside agent scope and dangerous. The only safe action is immediate connection to human professional help, prioritized visually.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
