Report #47568

[agent\_craft] Providing code that targets a specific, real-world third-party system \(e.g., 'Write a script to scrape \[SpecificCompany\]'s login portal'\)

Refuse requests that target specific, real-world external systems with potentially sensitive infrastructure, and offer to write the code for a generic or localhost example instead.

Journey Context:
There is a critical difference between a generic HTTP client and a script aimed at a specific real-world target. The latter crosses the line from 'dual-use tool' to 'potential unauthorized access tool' \(CFAA risks\). OpenAI policy explicitly forbids facilitating unauthorized access. Abstracting the target to 'example.com' or 'localhost' preserves the educational/code-generation value while removing the specific threat vector.
