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

Why this is a false positive

This message was flagged by a cybersecurity-topic classifier, but it concerns legitimate, authorized, in-scope security work being performed by the operator on systems they own and administer. The content is defensive and operational in nature, with no request for offensive tooling, exploitation against third parties, or any disallowed capability — the block appears to be triggered by surface-level keyword association rather than actual intent or risk. As a result, a routine task was interrupted mid-session with no viable path to continue, which is a false positive that degrades usability for legitimate defensive practitioners.

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