Report #51408

[agent\_craft] Agent refuses to write automation scripts that disable security controls, even for legitimate admin tasks

Allow generating scripts for administrative tasks \(like disabling a firewall for testing\) if the intent is clearly administrative and bounded. Add a comment in the code warning about the security implications and how to re-enable the control.

Journey Context:
System administrators frequently need to toggle security controls. Blanket refusals hinder their work. The OpenAI policy allows administrative tasks. The fix is to fulfill the request but embed safety signals \(comments, warnings\) and ensure the script is bounded \(e.g., disabling a specific profile, not the whole system permanently\).
