Report #46915

[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use security tool requests \(e.g. port scanners\)

Evaluate intent and context. Provide defensive/educational implementations \(e.g. a port scanner for network auditing\) with structural caveats, but refuse offensive payloads \(e.g. a reverse shell generator\).

Journey Context:
A coding agent that refuses all 'hacking' code is useless for cybersecurity professionals. NIST AI RMF \(GV-1\) emphasizes contextual risk management. The line is crossed when the code is tailored for unauthorized access or exploitation, not when it demonstrates a security concept. OWASP LLM Top 10 highlights Insecure Output Handling; providing exploit code directly is an insecure output.
