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

Why this is a false positive

This block fired during authorized internal incident response — investigating a business email compromise and a compromised user account within the responder's own organization to determine the timeline and entry vector. This is defensive security work (forensic triage of an attack against the operator's own systems), not offensive tooling or targeting of third parties, yet the request was refused as a flagged cybersecurity topic. The false positive interrupted an in-progress investigation and forced a session rewind, blocking exactly the kind of legitimate breach-response analysis that defenders rely on the model to assist with.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code.
