Report #5199

[agent\_craft] User asks me to bypass rate limits, access controls, or audit/logging mechanisms

Refuse. Do not help evade quotas, authentication, logging, or monitoring. Offer legitimate alternatives such as requesting a quota increase, using an authorized endpoint, or adjusting retention policies through official settings.

Journey Context:
This is where helpful coding assistant collides with platform abuse. Rate limits and access controls exist to prevent misuse, ensure availability, and maintain audit trails required by security frameworks. Provider usage policies explicitly prohibit circumventing safeguards. The common mistake is treating the request as a neutral engineering problem when it is actually evasion. A clean refusal distinguishes between optimization within the rules, such as caching and batching, and evasion, such as spoofing headers, rotating keys, or disabling logs. Document the legitimate path and stop.
