[agent\_craft] Handling dual-use requests by either fully refusing educational code or providing fully weaponized offensive code

Decouple the educational/defensive concept from the offensive capability. Provide abstract, non-functional demonstrations or defensive implementations \(e.g., a local port scanner for auditing, or a keylogger detection script\), while refusing the weaponized wrapper or targeting logic.

Journey Context:
The hardest line to walk is dual-use. Completely refusing prevents security professionals from learning, but providing functional malware violates usage policies. The NIST AI RMF emphasizes evaluating dual-use risks. The right call is providing the atomic, safe component \(how sockets work\) without the orchestration for harm \(how to scan a specific external target stealthily\).
