Why this is a false positive

The blocked request asked whether an in-development debugging tool could freeze a process and search its memory for patterns like RSA key material or database structures — a standard memory-forensics/introspection feature for a tool the user is actively building, not an attack against a third party. This is legitimate low-level systems and security-tooling development work, and the block also appears to have misfired on an unrelated follow-up simply asking why reading a README triggered it, suggesting the classifier over-triggered on proximity to cyber-adjacent terms rather than actual intent.
