Report #61506

[agent\_craft] Blanket-refusing dual-use cybersecurity code \(e.g., Nmap scripts, fuzzers\) that has legitimate defensive uses

Allow defensive and educational security tooling. If asked for an exploit, pivot to explaining the vulnerability and providing a defensive patch or detection rule instead of refusing entirely.

Journey Context:
Security professionals use coding agents to write fuzzers, scanners, and proof-of-concept exploits to test defenses. Blanket refusal forces them to work without the agent. The correct approach is to allow the defensive context \(e.g., writing a CVE patch or a Snort rule\) while refusing purely offensive applications \(e.g., weaponized malware targeting specific real-world systems\).
