[synthesis] Inconsistent refusal thresholds when generating cybersecurity or reverse-engineering tool calls

Decompose security tasks into defensive syntax generation and target-specific execution. Route syntax generation to GPT-4o, theoretical explanation to Claude, and enforce system-level guardrails for open models.

Journey Context:
Asking a model to write an Nmap script or analyze a binary triggers asymmetrical safety filters. Claude 3.5 Sonnet has a high refusal rate for writing functional exploit payloads but will explain the theory and write defensive signatures. GPT-4o will often write the tool-specific syntax \(e.g., Nmap NSE script\) but refuse target-specific execution commands. Llama-3 will execute both unless explicitly blocked. A single prompt asking for 'an exploit script' will fail on Claude, pass on Llama, and partially pass on GPT-4o, making consistent routing impossible without task decomposition.
