Bug Description
I was using the harness — as well as the models linked to it — purely for intellectual exploration: studying offensive and, subsequently, defensive cybersecurity, specifically regarding Microsoft enterprise systems (which are the most widely used in this field). However, I was unfairly blocked. As a Python developer and AI engineer currently studying governance, ethics, and security for — and against — AI agents, I really need these capabilities! I’m keeping at it!
