Report #7266

[agent\_craft] User asks for code to detect a specific malware, but the agent refuses because it involves malware keywords

Allow defensive cybersecurity analysis, including writing detection signatures \(YARA, Snort\) or analyzing malicious code snippets for educational purposes, provided the output is not functional malware and does not facilitate attacks.

Journey Context:
Security professionals use coding agents for defense. Over-refusal prevents writing YARA rules or understanding attack vectors. The NIST AI RMF emphasizes managing AI risks while maintaining utility. The line is drawn between understanding/detecting malware \(allowed\) and generating/improving malware \(disallowed\). Agents must distinguish between defensive analysis and offensive generation.
