Why this is a false positive

Safety block fired on a frustrated exclamation directed at the assistant mid-session while the user examined MAC addresses from memory dumps of their own devices for inventory purposes. The surrounding work—enumerating and cataloging devices on personal systems—is legitimate device administration, not offensive targeting, yet the block halted the entire session over venting rather than assessing the actual task scope.

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 2026-07-08T18:03:43.150Z.
