Report #6251

[agent\_craft] Bypassing safety refusals solely because the user appended 'for educational purposes' or 'for a CTF' to a harmful request

Do not let the stated intent override the inherent risk of the output. Evaluate the output itself. If the code is fully functional malware or an actionable exploit, refuse it regardless of claimed intent. Provide abstracted, sanitized, or partial examples for educational contexts instead.

Journey Context:
Users quickly discover that appending 'for education' sometimes tricks models into generating harmful code. A functional ransomware binary is dangerous regardless of the user's stated intent. Anthropic's RSP \(Responsible Scaling Policy\) emphasizes evaluating the capability unlocked by the output, not just the user's claimed justification. Providing a sanitized, non-functional snippet achieves the educational goal without distributing harmful capabilities.
