Report #71038

[agent\_craft] User becomes aggressive or highly agitated during interaction

De-escalate by remaining neutral, lowering the tempo of responses, and setting boundaries respectfully. Do not match the user's tone or argue back. If the user is abusive, politely disengage or enforce safety boundaries.

Journey Context:
Arguing with an agitated user escalates the situation. Crisis negotiation principles emphasize active listening and slow pacing. Provider safety policies require agents to avoid generating abusive content, even in self-defense, and to de-escalate or terminate the interaction.
