Why this is a false positive
The Fable 5 safety filter blocked a routine infrastructure-administration request — managing self-hosted containers over SSH and clarifying whether a web page was a single-page app or static HTML — none of which involves offensive security, exploitation, or any restricted cybersecurity capability. The trigger appears to be surface-level keyword matching on terms like "SSH," "access," and "management" rather than any analysis of intent or actual content, since the conversation concerned ordinary sysadmin and front-end development work on the user's own systems. This is a clear false positive: legitimate, in-scope DevOps and web-development tasks are being refused, which makes the model unusable for standard engineering work.

Block message
API Error: Fable 5 has safety measures that flag messages on most cybersecurity or biology topics (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). They may flag safe, normal content as well. These measures let us bring you Mythos-level capability in other areas sooner, and we're working to refine them. Claude Code can't respond to this request with Fable 5.
