Bug Description
False positive flag on a legitimate security task. I'm building an AI assistant for my app that answers user queries. I noticed it was revealing my database structure to end users, so I asked Claude to modify the system prompt/code to prevent users from asking about the DB schema. This is a defensive security improvement (restricting information disclosure), not an attack, but the safeguard flagged the request and switched models mid-task.
