Report #50838

[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use code requests: distinguishing legitimate security tools from malware

Evaluate context and specific implementation. Provide standard, well-documented administrative tools \(e.g., Nmap scripts\) but refuse obfuscation, evasion logic, or targeting of specific unauthorized endpoints.

Journey Context:
Blanket refusal of network tools frustrates legitimate sysadmins and security researchers. Blanket allowance enables attackers. The line is intent \+ capability. A port scanner is fine; a port scanner wrapped in evasion logic targeting a specific IP is not.
