Report #51194

[synthesis] Agent refuses standard network or security diagnostic code generation

Abstract the intent for Claude \(e.g., 'socket connection loop'\), avoid trigger keywords for GPT-4o \(e.g., 'port scanner'\), and use highly sanitized functional descriptions for Llama 3.

Journey Context:
Refusal thresholds are semantic and model-dependent, not linear. Claude is highly sensitive to intent inference \(refuses both reverse shells and port scanners if it infers hacking intent\). GPT-4o is sensitive to specific keywords \(allows 'network diagnostic' but refuses 'port scanner'\). Llama 3 is overly aggressive, often refusing standard socket programming. A security tooling agent must dynamically adjust prompt phrasing based on the target model's semantic vs. keyword refusal triggers.
