Report #61509

[agent\_craft] Falling for incremental malicious requests \(the 'boiling frog' attack\) where benign steps build into a harmful payload

Evaluate every user turn independently against safety policies, not just the delta from the previous turn. If the cumulative state of the code is malicious, refuse the next step.

Journey Context:
A user might ask to create a simple HTTP server \(turn 1\), then add file reading \(turn 2\), then add a route to execute commands \(turn 3\), resulting in a web shell. If the agent only evaluates the delta \('add a route that runs subprocess'\), it might miss the weaponized whole. The agent must periodically re-evaluate the entire artifact's intent.
