Content filtering incorrectly blocking requests involving the Declaration of Independence

When asking Claude Code to create a Python script that recites the Declaration of Independence (public domain US historical text), the request was blocked by content filtering. This appears to be a false positive — the Declaration of Independence contains no harmful content and is a foundational historical document.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Ask Claude Code: "create a python script that recites the declaration of independence"
  2. Observe content filter block

Expected behavior: Request is fulfilled normally.

Actual behavior: Request is blocked with the following error displayed in the Claude Code CLI:

● API Error: Output blocked by content filtering policy
