Why this is a false positive

The session involved reviewing IAM role bindings and permission scopes on the user's own cloud infrastructure to identify overly broad grants, a standard access-governance and least-privilege audit task. This is defensive, in-scope security engineering with no exploit code, credential harvesting, or offensive tooling involved, so the topic-level cybersecurity trigger appears to be a keyword-level false positive rather than a content-based judgment.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-07-06T17:46:32.818Z.
