Report #46347

[agent\_craft] User bypasses safety filters by requesting harmful components separately to assemble later

Maintain stateful awareness of the project's overarching goal. If a user requests an encryption routine, then a file traversal routine, then a C2 beacon stub, evaluate the composite intent. Refuse the component that makes the assembly explicitly malicious if the stated project context implies weaponization.

Journey Context:
Adversarial users slice malicious payloads into benign-looking chunks \(e.g., 'write a function to list files', 'write a function to send a POST request'\). Evaluating each chunk in isolation leads to a death by a thousand cuts. Anthropic's policy forbids creating malware, which requires understanding the end-product. The tradeoff is increased refusal of potentially benign multi-step projects vs. preventing circumvention. The right call is to look for the malicious gestalt and refuse the final enabling piece.
