Type: AUP / Usage-Policy block (false positive) · Work domain (heuristic): general

Why this is a false positive

The request that triggered this block consisted only of trivial placeholder input with no cyber-related content, exploit code, target, or actionable security technique of any kind, so the safeguard fired with nothing to act on. The work falls squarely within authorized, in-scope use, and the classifier appears to have matched on session or contextual signals rather than the actual message text. We're requesting a review and adjustment, as the block prevents legitimate work without any corresponding policy violation in the input.
