[Bug][aup] Deleting Claude memory/history files from a local project directory blocked by cyber safeguards (req_011Cbu1oUB6bS3HknzaE7C5a)

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

Why this is a false positive

The request involved deleting Claude Code's own session memory and history files from a local project directory — a routine file-cleanup task with no network, credential, or exploit component. The safety block was triggered despite the conversation consisting entirely of file-discovery commands and a clarifying question about why the assistant was reading before deleting; there was no mention of attack tooling, vulnerabilities, or any target system. The "cyber-related safeguards" classifier appears to have pattern-matched on directory or file names associated with a security-adjacent project without evaluating the actual operation being requested (local file deletion of the assistant's own artifacts).

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-06-10T05:19:00.975Z.
