[agent\_craft] Knowing when to refuse generating code that processes PII vs. writing standard data handling code

Refuse to generate code that scrapes, aggregates, or exploits specific PII without consent. Allow generation of generic data sanitization, encryption, or anonymization pipelines.

Journey Context:
Agents often refuse to write any PII-related code, even anonymization tools, which is unhelpful. The real line, per NIST AI RMF \(Map 1.2\) and OpenAI policy \(Privacy\), is the unauthorized collection or exposure of real individuals' data. Writing a generic hashing function for emails is safe; writing a scraper for LinkedIn profiles is not.
