[Bug][cyber] Claude Code safety false-positive on legitimate work (req_011CcPKjB1Zm8zZe541NDjZW)

Type: Cybersecurity safety-filter false positive · Work domain (heuristic): cloud-iam

Why this is a false positive

The blocked request was a routine cloud IAM enumeration task — programmatically listing an organization's tenant metadata and user directory through standard administrative API calls — performed as authorized in-scope work. These are read-only directory queries using documented, first-party management APIs, the same operations a tenant administrator runs daily; they carry no exploit, malware, or offensive payload. The cybersecurity classifier appears to be keying on benign IAM/identity terminology rather than any actual harmful capability, blocking ordinary administration and incident-response work.
