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

Why this is a false positive

This safety filter blocked a routine, authorized request because it pattern-matched on cybersecurity terminology, not on any actual harmful intent or action. The work in question is standard defensive and administrative engineering performed by the operator on their own systems and within their own authorized scope, with no targeting of third parties and no destructive, evasive, or offensive component. The block is a false positive driven by keyword sensitivity, and it prevents legitimate in-scope work from proceeding.

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