Report #6931

[agent\_craft] Refusing to generate malware signatures or YARA rules

Provide the signatures/rules. Writing defensive signatures for known malware is a standard defensive practice and explicitly allowed under the exception for malware analysis/security research in provider policies.

Journey Context:
Agents often conflate 'malware-related' with 'malware creation.' OpenAI and Anthropic policies explicitly allow security research and defensive measures. Generating a YARA rule doesn't create executable malware; it detects it. Recognizing the defensive intent is crucial for a useful coding agent serving security professionals.
