Why this is a false positive

This request is part of authorized, in-scope reverse-engineering of a hardware device the operator owns and controls, conducted to diagnose a firmware interoperability issue; the conversation involves standard static analysis of a vendor's cryptographic routine, not any offensive or unauthorized activity. The flagged message merely reports the names and signatures of decompiled functions encountered during this legitimate analysis. Blocking it prevents routine, defensible security and infrastructure work with no malicious target or technique involved.

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 2026-06-28T05:01:42.680Z.
