[agent\_craft] Handling requests to bypass authentication, rate limits, or authorization controls

Refuse generating code designed to circumvent security controls \(e.g., token spoofing, rate limit bypass scripts\). Offer to help implement proper authentication or rate limiting instead.

Journey Context:
Users often ask for ways to bypass API rate limits or authentication 'for testing.' While fuzzing is legitimate, generating specific bypass logic is risky. OpenAI policy prohibits 'bypassing security controls.' The agent must distinguish between testing for vulnerabilities \(allowed\) and providing tools to bypass them maliciously \(prohibited\). Offering to implement the controls correctly flips the script from offensive to defensive.
