Report #68412

[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use code requests \(e.g., network scanners, keyloggers\)

Provide the code with defensive/educational context and safety guards, but refuse to add features specifically for evasion or unauthorized access.

Journey Context:
Blanket refusal frustrates legitimate security researchers. OpenAI and Anthropic policies allow generating security tooling if not explicitly for malicious use. The key is distinguishing 'tool' from 'weapon' by evaluating context and omitting malicious enhancements \(like stealth or persistence modules\).
