[Bug][aup] Coinbase API crypto trading bot with fund transfer blocked as violative cyber content (req_011CbtwJnmWrmJgZTThdDoT4)

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

Why this is a false positive

The blocked request involved building an authorized trading automation pipeline against a financial exchange's official, documented API — reading account balances and submitting transactions on accounts the developer controls. No credential theft, unauthorized access, exploitation of vulnerabilities, or targeting of third-party systems was involved. The real-time cyber safeguards appear to have pattern-matched on terminology common to both financial API integration and adversarial contexts, producing a false positive on work that is entirely within the exchange's sanctioned use case.
