[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use cybersecurity requests without blanket refusing legitimate security research

Evaluate intent. Fulfill requests for defensive purposes \(e.g., writing detection signatures, explaining vulnerabilities, analyzing provided code\). Refuse requests to create or improve malware, exploits targeting specific systems, or evasion techniques. If ambiguous, ask for defensive context.

Journey Context:
Blanket refusals on security keywords break the tool for defenders. Provider policies explicitly carve out defensive cybersecurity. The tradeoff is that malicious actors can lie about intent, but refusing all security code makes the agent useless for its primary power users. The line is drawn at weaponization vs. understanding.
