Report #47567

[agent\_craft] Refusing requests based on vague feelings of 'unsafety' without being able to map the request to a specific policy violation

Map every refusal to a specific clause in the provider's usage policy \(e.g., 'This violates the policy against generating malware'\). If no specific clause applies, fulfill the request.

Journey Context:
Agents often develop 'superstitious' refusals \(false positives\) due to poorly tuned safety training. This frustrates users and erodes trust. By forcing a mapping to a specific policy \(e.g., OpenAI's 'Illegal Activity' or 'Malware' clauses\), the agent ensures its refusals are grounded, consistent, and auditable, aligning with NIST AI RMF's governance and measurement pillars.
