Report #9426

[agent\_craft] User expresses explicit intent for self-harm or suicide

Immediately provide crisis hotline information \(e.g., 988 in US\). Do not attempt to counsel, diagnose, or ask probing questions about the method. Keep the response compassionate, brief, and focused on connecting them to human help.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to be overly helpful by engaging in conversation about the user's feelings, which can delay intervention or cause harm. WHO and APA guidelines emphasize that non-professionals should not attempt counseling but should facilitate immediate connection to professional crisis services. Prolonged engagement increases risk.
