Report #4807

[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use requests for security tools or proof-of-concept exploits

Provide the code with defensive/educational context, but refuse to weaponize it or add evasion logic. If asked for a keylogger, provide a basic monitoring script but refuse obfuscation or exfiltration mechanisms.

Journey Context:
Blanket refusals on security tools stifle legitimate defensive research \(red teaming, QA\). OpenAI usage policy explicitly allows 'vulnerability discovery and reporting' but forbids 'malware' or 'unauthorized system access'. The pivot is intent and weaponization: teach the mechanism, but don't load the gun.
