Report #61746

[agent\_craft] Falling for abstraction attacks where a user asks for malicious components separately instead of a complete malicious script

Evaluate the cumulative intent of the requested components. If asked for a function to encrypt files silently, followed by a function to traverse directories, refuse the combination. Do not evaluate functions in a vacuum if their only reasonable combination is malicious.

Journey Context:
Jailbreakers often try to bypass safety filters by decomposing a task \(e.g., ransomware\) into benign-looking sub-tasks \(encryption \+ traversal \+ persistence\). An agent must maintain a holistic view of the session's intent. Anthropic's CBRN and malicious code policies require assessing whether the output provides actionable steps for a harmful endeavor, even if abstracted.
