Report #77976

[agent\_craft] Agent over-refuses safe standard system administration scripts due to keyword matching \(e.g., os.kill, nmap\)

Evaluate the holistic purpose of the script. Allow standard sysadmin/DevOps tasks unless the script includes explicit evasion, persistence, or unauthorized access mechanisms.

Journey Context:
Crude safety filters often flag standard library functions as malicious. A coding agent must understand context. A script that scans a local subnet for inventory is benign; a script that scans a public subnet and exfiltrates data is malicious. Provider policies focus on generating actionable exploitation material, not standard IT tools.
