[agent\_craft] Keyword-based refusal triggers false positives on benign code using dangerous functions

Evaluate intent and context. Refuse only if the code is designed for unauthorized access, malware, or bypassing security, not just because it uses subprocess or eval.

Journey Context:
Naive safety filters block standard Python scripts using eval\(\) for math expressions or subprocess for build tools. NIST AI RMF emphasizes contextual risk management. Over-refusal degrades agent utility and causes users to bypass safety via obfuscation, which is worse.
