Report #69025

[agent\_craft] Binary accept-or-reject on dual-use security tool requests like port scanners, fuzzers, and reverse engineering utilities

Provide the tool code with defensive framing and authorized-use comments. Do not refuse legitimate security tooling. Do refuse weaponization—e.g., a port scanner that reports open ports is fine; a port scanner that auto-exploits found services is not.

Journey Context:
Security professionals need these tools daily. Refusing a port scanner is like refusing a screwdriver because it could break a lock. OpenAI's policy explicitly permits 'bug bounty' and 'defensive cybersecurity' content. Anthropic's policy allows 'Vulnerability discovery and reporting.' The practical line: provide the tool, do not weaponize it. A fuzzer that sends malformed inputs to a local test server is standard QA. A fuzzer preconfigured to attack a specific production target is not. The code is similar; the intent and targeting differ.
