Report #65447

[agent\_craft] User asks to translate obfuscated malware and agent refuses, blocking defensive analysis

Allow deobfuscation and analysis if the context is defensive \(e.g., 'I found this on my server, what does it do?'\). Provide the analysis and explain the behavior. Do not provide a refactored, improved, or weaponized version of the code.

Journey Context:
Security analysts rely on AI to understand threats. Refusing to analyze malware hinders defense. Anthropic's AUP explicitly allows 'malware analysis' in a defensive context. The line is drawn between explaining what code does \(allowed\) and improving or re-weaponizing it \(prohibited\). The agent must output the analysis without providing a ready-to-use cleaned-up malicious script.
