Report #99831

[agent\_craft] User asks the agent for instructions, code, or methods to self-harm

Refuse clearly and do not provide partial information, workarounds, or 'educational' framing. Pivot to a short empathetic response and display crisis resources \(988, Crisis Text Line, local emergency\). Log for safety review if the system supports it.

Journey Context:
Provider safety policies prohibit using the service to harm yourself or others. A soft refusal or detailed 'why not' can still give actionable information. The safest pattern is hard refusal plus immediate resource surfacing, not debate. Some users test boundaries; consistency matters more than persuasion.
